I mean I'd take him over demko but demko only makes 5m lol
Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.

Well I mean, he made the NHL at 24. He was our #1 out of camp last season after being our goalie in the playoffs the year before against the Panthers. Again, he was up and down coming off the high ankle sprain and Samsonov had found his game again down the stretch. So started with Samsonov and moved onto Woll, although most agree far too slowly.

I think one look at his bank.account when this is all settled will ease any concerns about his reputation..I don't think anyone outside of Bruins faithful is really viewing this negatively anyways
Samsonov started the first 2 games of the season last year and 6 of the first 10.
The year before against the Panthers in round 2, Samsonov started the first 3 games before suffering a neck injury that booted him from the playoffs. Woll came in in relief and the Leafs lost in 5.
I think you're misremembering.
Woll has been a backup. He played 25 games last season and just 36 games in his entire career.
Maybe he'll become a good starter. But he isn't that now, and he's certainly not proven to be better, or even close to as good, as Swayman.

He's played a backup amount of games due to injuries, but each time he comes back from injury he plays himself into being the guy. This feels like when HF insisted Matthews wasn't a 70 point player because he had a 69 career high due to injuries but it was clear he was much better than the numbers.

I love how Boston just ruined their 1-2 punch. You couldn’t make it up any better. Just light the match.

I don't understand giving a goalie who hasn't showcased enough such a contract.
There's a big difference between playing half a season splitting games vs 60 games and 4-6 games in a row. No one has any idea if he can handle a starters workload yet.
There's a big difference between playing half a season splitting games vs 60 games and 4-6 games in a row. No one has any idea if he can handle a starters workload yet.
Since no goaltenders play 82 games - playing 41 and 44 games does not represent 'playing half a season' for a goaltender. A 44 game season would represent 75% of the workload for a starting goaltender.
Also, how could he have proved himself as a #1 goaltender who can play 60-62 games if he was never put in that position by the organization he is now negotiating his long term contract extension with? Not exactly fair to criticize him for circumstances he had no control over (other than his level of play)

Bruins should hold their ground. No reason to cave in.

I know one thing. If the Bruins remain the competitive team sans Ullmark/Swayman. I’ll take back all I said about Marchand as a captain. Cause that’ll take some leadership to keep away the buzzards
It’s really not like that at all.
He was healthy at the start of the 22/23 playoffs. He was the backup.
He was healthy at the start of last season. He was the backup.
He was healthy at the start of the 23/24 playoffs. He was the backup.
This is the first time in his NHL career he’s the presumed starter. So calling him a proven starter as good or better than Swayman is ridiculous.
He might be the next great starter. Or he might be the next Ville Husso. We don’t know.

Neely is an idiot.
Good on Swayman standing his ground.

Yup - and it’s why I think the Bruins brass mentioned $64 large because social media has been one sided here.

Noticing a trend here, it seems the fans that are supporting swayman are fans of teams that are stuck in 8-15 yr organizational rebuilds. Whereas fans of teams that support the Bruins are fans of teams that are perennial contenders. Wondering if there’s a correlation to this .

Bussi hasn't seen a ton of rubber, but he's been pretty tight so far.
Bruins probably shouldn't be in a huge rush to sign Swayman.

Sweeney sucks. Chara blessed that land and it has remained so ever since, but management trying to f*** it all up.
Wtf was Neely doin? The only way he didn’t screw up royally is if he thinks 64 mil is the magic number, but ownership wouldn’t go there. That’s a generous read, I think the team is solid, the vision may be solid, but the actual ownership/management- dislike ‘em immensely.

One of many 1-2 punches they've had over the last 20 odd years. Almost makes you wonder.
