Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.

One possibility... A total of $64 million could include money deferred. So the Bruins are thinking it's $64 million total, but Swayman/Gross think it doesn't count because some money is deferred.

OVO16 · 2024-09-30T19:44:24-0400

Im actually laughing at the fact that someone is openly and blatantly lying.

Like there's no way you can go back out there and say "Actually my words were taken out of context by the media, this is what it actually meant"

Oh this nasty

Montecristo · 2024-09-30T19:44:42-0400

Any teams out there want to give the bruins some good stuff for a young good goalie of the present and future? Boston would probably trade him if you gave up some seriously good stuff. Otherwise theyll just coast into the playoffs with or without him and lose in the first round (as long as it isnt the leafs) with or without him too. And wait till next year

No way i would ever want him.

At this point I jut don't see a reconciliation between them. Sway was already overly butthurt about going to arbitration last year so I can't see him just being ok with going back to Boston now.

Deadly Dogma · 2024-09-30T19:46:22-0400

Marner+Woll for Swayman?

So first the don't want to return calls for 3 weeks and now they lying about offers.

Seems like the Bruins management has some explaining to do.

Who says Boston's management is being dishonest? I wouldn't trust the biz to say anything with a straight face. When things start going through media especially from the players side its the agents job to make the opposing side look bad and vice versa.

Neely and co. are literally just clowns

Wonder how much longer they're gonna embarrass the franchise

OVO16 · 2024-09-30T19:48:14-0400

I'm leaning toward believing the agent here. At the end of the day, the agent was the one who RESPONDED back to the initial statement, which meant they had all day to think about their response.

I refuse to believe they would just go "Nah we have to lie and say that offer was never presented us".

They could've just kept it at "We're super disappointed that Neely went public with our negotiations. Not something we were expecting"

Instead, they added "That offer was never presented to us". Im sorry but Neely is lying

A1LeafNation · 2024-09-30T19:48:19-0400

I don't understand. You agreed to pay Pasta 11m so just stfu and pay Sway 10m.

Those are your two franchise pieces moving forward.

This didn't need to happen.

Uh, no. Marner would destroy the Leafs in the playoffs on Boston lol and Toronto has cheap solid goaltending

Yeah - animosity between Swayman & Sweeny almost seems as though it might be best to part ways.

Gross/player are just as guilty of going through the media.

That just makes no sense

But at the same time that’s how Leafs do their business, give players open check

Never said that they arent guilty.

Im just saying based off facts i see here today, I guess that its Neely who lied in today's 64 Million offer ordeal

Ooo tough comment

You don’t give 10M for a goalie who’s never been a true starter for a season

Sounds like an agent that players should avoid having.

Not trying to be tough, just find it a bit silly to be chirping another team when the thread is about challenges that your own team is experiencing. I also never said to give him $10M.

and here's the thing agents always say stuff that make their clients look good. Never trust an agent as much as you trust a GM. Both need to knock it off.

there are people who saying that boston should just pay the guy what he wants and other teams would gladly pay the guy what he wants....

Team is probably 3 or so years away from competing. Swayman is turning 26 in a month. May be too early to commit that much money to a goalie.

A swayman $9m x 8 contract likely 'turns good' in year 3... so it's actually perfect for a team like utah's timing.

Generally speaking, you'd be correct that it's too early for them to commit to a big money goalie, but he's only 25, so can grow with that team.

spintheblackcircle · 2024-09-30T19:59:10-0400

Never give a goalie that much money.
