Interesting, wonder what that means. I feel a divorce I mean trade comming. The trade market will be underwelming. I think you be lucky to get a goalie and a 1st back, something like chariot, husso and a top 10 protected 1st to even salaries from detroit

Didn't he also play a part in fumbling the Seguin situation? I remember there was footage of Bruins management talking about it on YouTube from a docuseries
If Swayman was offered anything north of $7 million aav for 5 years or more...Well he's 1 dumb motherf****r considering he hasn't carried that team without Ullmark's help...Seems like a trade is now more likely than anything else.

Guys. It’s ok.
Swayman’s a business man. He’s gotta know this is the way the business works
Both sides have gone on media tours now.
Not sure why Swayman’s so butt hurt right now. Guy went out and did the same thing earlier in the summer.

What was so contentious about this infamous arbitration hearing for those who didn't follow the saga...

Except they are coming across like petulant children and giving the terrible press conferences that make them look unprofessional.
We have Don Sweeney saying the spitting up podcast, trying to tell us swayman should be at camp without a contract and now Neely possibly lying about the offer and his 64 million reasons comment.
Bostons management team is coming across as very unprofessional and making unforced errors to the media.
Shut up Marc podcast:" Swayman: I went to business school, I know my comparables"
NO Swayman you clearly don't, thinking he's worth more than Saros, Hellebuck, Sorokin. Sit him or ship him out.

But isn’t that the point of arbitration?
You pitch your side, they pitch theirs.
Sway has a Binnington like arrogance/fight about him.
I’m sure anything slightly negative got him fired up
Seguin fumbled his own situation trying to get intimate woth Horton's wife. But yes, Neely was involved in the decision to trade. Chiarelli did the negotiations with Dallas though.
I think he was pissed that they even bothered taking him all the way to arbitration for what he probably viewed as not much difference in money.
I don’t know that for sure though.
Neither side looks good right now, but if there's any truth to what Neely said...It's gonna look bad on Swayman.

What a dumbass comment by Neely. Even if Gross is being difficult, you dont come out and expose negotiations in public. What a bitch move by Neely 
Only Bruins fans think what Neely did was right lmfao

True, both sides look bad, but you expect a player to believe in himself and be a little unreasonable in his ask and talking. You dont see organizations making clowns of themselves like Sweeney and Neely are currently. It’s as bad as Kevin Lowe’s ‘ i know a thing or two about winning” conference or MacTavish talking about tier 1 and tier 2 fans and all that was embarrassing.

Fans when teams are shrewd with players: Well, it’s just business, shouldn’t be any hard feelings.
Fans when players are equally business-like in their negotiations with the team: *shocked pikachu face*

Boston should take that and run! Calgary would never do that
I like Detroit as a trade partner. And yzerman will bat those Stevie dreamy eyes and get him to sign 8x7.8m

Never good when a GM goes public like this.What a dumbass comment by Neely. Even if Gross is being difficult, you dont come out and expose negotiations in public. What a bitch move by Neely

Servalli was saying on local radio yesterday that it just shows Neely is rattled, so you might as well just hold out for what you want.

This is what is lost in all this. Bruins last year used their leverage and squeezed Swayman, went through arbitration and tore him apart to get the smallest cap hit instead of just paying him something way cheaper than he is asking for this year. Then they just said don't take it personally just business.
So now Swayman has the leverage and is tearing the Bruins apart in the media and squeezing them for more and management suddenly forgets it is just a business when it is done back to them.
I hope Sway get 10M

Bruins won’t go to 80 million. Imo both sides agree to a short term with the Bruins buying one UFA year. 8 AAV x 3 years.
