Speculation: What is Swayman's Trade Value?

[wintersej]

Bruins would massively lose any trade. Don’t think it’s really on the table.

We'll offer you Gibson, take it or leave it.

Jokes aside, I am still fairly certain Gibson could become a bonafide number 1 goalie again in a different market and with an actually capable defense in front of him.

Maybe something around Gibson @30% retained plus a B-level prospect like Sidorov could be considered fair value.

Boston gets a proven goalie with a somewhat high probability of bouncing back and rejuvenating his career as well as a prospect that pots goals en masse in juniors but is completely unproven amongst men.

Anaheim gets a great goalie, who can easily mentor Dostal to take over in a few years and some redemption for the lopsided mess that was the Lindholm deal.

Lol how long did it take you to convince yourself this wasn't completely one sided

To Ottawa for Ullmark.

Skinner(stuart) + Nurse (some retention) + 1st or 2nd round pick 26/27

Someone else could offer an OK goalie + 1st without boston having to take on nurse.

Skinner(stuart) + Nurse (some retention) + 1st or 2nd round pick 26/27

Boston would probably rather pay Swayman 10 mill than take on Nurse, unless that "some retention" is 50%

AFPAnalytics which have been close on most contracts had his value @ 5 years x 6.4m

They used hellebyuk shesterkin and demko contracts as comparables.

It’s the absolute worst time to trade him. Everyone has their net locked in with a roster of healthy goalies, and on top of that, gms know that Sweeney is bent over the barrel (at the price that sway is asking)

 

[kcunac]

I know the Demko for Sway are jokes but still feel the need to say no interest in shelling out 8-9-19 million for a goalie, especially if you can have a system that can make a 3 million goalie look like a star (not saying that about Bruins and Swaymam, but rather my aspirations for Van).

Yeah, and that would make him the 6th highest paid goalie in the NHL. Maybe 500k more and one year less, but it sounds like Gross is trying to make up a new market for RFA goalies, so who knows when it will end. But, the Bruins moving Swayman for some shit value instead of saying "fine, go find an offer sheet" just doesn't make much sense. I mean Nylander held out until 12/1 with Gross and, in the long run, its barely mattered a blip. The Bruins aren't going to make a dumb long term decision over 25 games (of which Swayman would only have been starting 15-17) and Swayman ain't gonna sit out a whole year and not get a dime.

Ryder, Halak, and a 2nd, that’s IT!
