It’s time some bruins GOT PAID!
Get that bag, Jeremy

Chicklets is unreal, this sounds like it could be a wild situation. Cant wait to see it play out. I feel like you're putting the cart before the horse here in regards to comparing it to Babcock.Spitting Chiclets is reporting otherwise; Ryan Whitney is claiming the Bruins last apparently offered Swayman a 4 year, 6.5 million per year deal. Swayman rejected it and the Bruins apparently haven't returned his calls or messages since. Don Sweeney says Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned, rips ‘inaccurate’ reports
Which led to this tweet from Paul Bissonette
I know Chiclets isn't well liked by everyone, but the last time Biz went on the warpath like this is when he called out Mike Babcock for his weird ass behavior. People called him a clout chaser, moron etc but the truth came out and to a lot of people's shock, Biz had sources within the Jackets org feeding him the info. To be expected of a podcast that has so many ties to players both current and former.
I would be willing to bet their source here is Swayman himself. And if that's case, someone punt Donnie into the sun please.
Absolutely not, people really weren't paying attention to how bad he was last year. And really most of his career outside of 2 or 3 outlier seasons. He is a talented athletic goalie but he has no discipline in his craft, lacks focus and is insanely mentally weak.As a leafs fan, he could hold out and miss the whole season and the leafs would still get smoked by a Korpisalo led bruins team in the playoffs.
Pasta is paid fair. Swayman will be too. He has the leverage. No Swayman = no playoffs. GMs get fired when high expectations are not met because of a problem they created.It’s time some bruins GOT PAID!

They weren't smoked with Swayman so I'm not sure how they would get smoked facing an inferior goalie.
Then he does not sign for 8 years and takes a short term prove it deal again. Which then the Bruins either have to let him go or pay up.But for a goalie that only played on average around 43 games a season isn't exactly going to fetch a high starting goalie level contract.
Yes they got beaten but they weren't smoked like you said. It was Game 7 in OT and Swayman is much better than Korpisalo. Not really sure what your point is.
People keep over exaggerating how bad Ottawa's defense was last year. Were they bottom half sure but they weren't some giant tire fire they were around 20th in the league defensively. They were constantly chasing games because of a soft early goal. If Korpisalo can somehow figure out how to start on time then that is another story, you remove the goals he let in on the first three shots of the game last year and he was pretty average.I think we all know that Swayman is a better goalie than Korpisalo, I don't think anyone is arguing that.
It's also extremely obvious that Korpisalo is not as bad as his numbers in Ottawa indicate, as that is mostly the result of playing behind an ECHL level d corps.
That may or may not be true, there are a few calculations for UFA, if in two seasons he hits the age calculation then he is a UFA regardless, but there is a calculation that lets them get there earlier based on seasons played and that of course would be affected.I think Swayman is overplaying his hand by thinking he has all the leverage. He has complained many times in the last year, that he did not like the arbitration award last fall - he was the one who initiated the process not the Bruins. Did he expect that the Bruins would just give him what he wanted because he filed. The Bruins presented a case and the arbitrator agreed and Swayman bitches its unfair,
He is attempting to get even because his feelings were bruised. There are threats that he won't sign until December 1. The Bruins could reduce their offer, at December 1, to a one-year deal with the dollar value reduced to reflect missed games and tell him it is his choice to take it or not.. If he refuses Swayman gets $0 and still has two years to UFA and remains Bruins property.
Get the egos (must win by both sides) out of the way and negotiate a fair contract
Sweeney seems grossly incompetent
would love to see Sweeney say 'Sure, i'll come on the show and respond to what you are saying you are hearing, as long as you state the source of who told you, on the air.'Chicklets is unreal, this sounds like it could be a wild situation. Cant wait to see it play out. I feel like you're putting the cart before the horse here in regards to comparing it to Babcock.

You do know during the playoffs.At this point let Korp play behind that bruins defense and system, watch him put up good numbers and suddenly swaymann’s a little less important to the team’s success than he may have thought he was.
listen if the game plan is to pray that korpisolo is significantly better this season then its a bad betAt this point let Korp play behind that bruins defense and system, watch him put up good numbers and suddenly swaymann’s a little less important to the team’s success than he may have thought he was.
Almost as good as giving Swaymann 80 million dollars.listen if the game plan is to pray that korpisolo is significantly better this season then its a bad bet
I doubt the Bruins even wanna pay that much. I'd say Swayman is at 8.5 and knowing the Bruins they're at 6. I'd say this gets settled somewhere close to 7 when it's all said and done.Bruins probably want him at 7M. He wants 10M. Settle in the middle at 8.5M
bad guess, if your guess was right it would have already happened.ill guess 8x8.5
NO !Bruins probably want him at 7M. He wants 10M. Settle in the middle at 8.5M
Boston has been one of the more successful franchises in the NHL since he took over.Sweeney seems grossly incompetent
