Speculation: What is Swayman's Trade Value?

[Ace Card Bedard]

Most teams don't want to spend 9-10M on a goaltender.

It probably brings his trade value down below what it should otherwise be.

Ullmark 1 for 1.

Would the Ducks entertain a swap of Gibson and a pick/prospect for Swayman? Bruins get a solid replacement starter and an asset to help their weak prospect pool, Ducks get a younger goalie to build with.

Would have to be a crazy + for Bruins to consider. Mctavish or really good picks.

Gibson and Korpi would be a wild goalie tandem. "The Kap Dump Kids"? "Buyers Remorse Bros"? "Overpaid OGs"?

I'm with you. Just look at Askarov. The guy is the most hyped goalie prospect in years. But he had only a few teams bidding, and landed just a conditional 1st rounder.

Swayman is worth more, no question. I'm not comparing value. Swayman is a proven star starter. But the Askarov situation does show the market. Not many teams are willing to dump a ton of assets for the goaltending position. That would include the cap commitment.

The only condition was which 1st round pick it will be.

They also received another recent 1st rounder who has been developing just fine

Boston would be crazy to trade him. His value is really high IMO
