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

[TheBeard]

I’m bored of this. This is boring. People whining about millions of dollars. Jeremy, either sign a contract or ask for a trade. Fire your agent and learn to respect the sport again. Boston, don’t be dickbags. Either give him what he wants or move him. Otherwise you both can f*** off til ya do.

Comparing contracts straight up and not as a percentage of the cap is just silly and lazy.

Age, number of games played, etc

I provided the link - don't be lazy and click...Or would you rather be silly and post something when the answer you seek is right in front of you?

Yeah - as a Detroit fan I should gives 2 shitZ about this...Instead I should be hoping for an implosion where Boston slides into mediocrity...

Honestly if they’re gonna make it ugly, then go full-ugly. Disclose everything, bring receipts, if you’re gonna be like two catty high school girls slinging mud, then do it in the cafeteria so all can get some entertainment with their tater tots.

If Swayman doesn't sign for 8x8 I hope Sweeney & Co makes him sit for his 2 remaining RFA years while simultaneously ruining Gross's career. Who would sign Swayman for 10M+ after sitting for 2 years?... good luck with that.

Why would they do that vs. trying to trade him in order to get an actual return? Hasn't it also come out that Swayman isn't even asking for $10M?

I'd love to see GMs start to play hardball like this

If the Bruins don't like the returns they can sit him. In two years I'm sure Swayman would request 10m+.

To show this petulant man-child and his crony agent who's boss.

And watch no player ever sign with Boston again.

Most players aren't egocentric trailblazers

This is just wrong. B's had to trade Ullmark or they would be offloading him under duress at start of the season. Swayman surrendered all his leverage when he declined arbitration. He has no option to sign anywhere in the NHL but Boston for two years

Boston could put a contract offer down for 2 years $5m AAV no trade restrictions and Swayman would sign it before Dec 1, I guarantee it. Otherwise he's playing in Sweden for $500k. Boston has not done this bc they want a long term deal.

They didn’t have to trade Ullmark. They could have traded Swayman instead and signed Ullmark.
