Boston should have never let Ullmark go without signing Swayman...he has them by the hair now.

Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.
- Thread starter HockeyVirus
- Start date
How to date yourself as a hockey fan...
Jump to page 38 about a debate about Swayman and his contract talks with Boston. See the name Dipietro and automatically jump to the conclusion a poster trying to point out the risk of signing a younger goalie to long term big money (before reading the entire post).
Ummm nope, different Dipietro... I'm not the only one who had this though process, right, RIGHT?!?

Putting your faith into a young Bussi is better than putting it in any (Sway)man
just wanted to make a cheesey pun

I don't really see the danger here, does anyone say "he's not an NHL goalie" no, he's at worst, an average goalie. He isn't 28/29 or anything.
So he underperforms and you trade him in 2-4 years with a small bit of retention, or not. (cap will also be up by that time)
starter number 1 quality goalies are at a premium, and we haven't seen much in the pipelines anywhere. So I dont' get it.
8X8 Seems like a no brainer. NMC ONLY or 20 team NTC for 2-3 years if that's what he's asking.
Seems like next no risk here, aside from cap considerations.

Maybe not, he needs to sign and if does not sign, he does not play and come December 1st and is not signed he has to sit out the year. He sits out the year he is no closer too free agency, and he loses millions of dollars.

And the Bruins miss the playoffs and Sweeny is fired. The new GM signs Swayman to an even bigger contract than what could have got him in camp this year.
I mean he is two seasons from Ufa regardless of if he plays or not. He's hitting Ufa based on age not based on years of service and not signing doesn't stop him from aging.
If that happens though then they can’t sign Zadorov or Lindholm iirc
So they’re in a tough spot either way
I don’t know why it keeps being brought up about Swayman missing the whole season
It simply doesn’t happen
Bruins will not miss the playoffs because they did not have Swayman. I think he is overvaluing himself, wanted him playing goal this year but you cannot pay him what he is looking for, time to move on.
