Why is a player negotiating a better deal for themselves "selfish"? It's absolutely laughable for a fan to even suggest this. It's a business. Teams operate under that premise all day long. Players are more than free to do the same. McAvoy certainly didn't leave a dime on the table. Nor did Pasta. But it's a problem when Swayman does what's best for himself? Hilarious.
We traded the prior years Vezina winner to promote him and agreed to not go to arbitration. He chose to use this as leverage.
Sway hadn't played particularly well, no question. Now with that being said, I've been critical of the defensive play in front of both goalies because it's been pretty lousy. I don't think any goalie would have much success playing behind a defense that lets the other team play in their end for prolonged periods of time and doesn't score any goals offensively. The roster is trash. But yes, sway can and has to be better. Today he was excellent. Literally why they won. With the stretch they have coming up against good teams, they need more of this.
