Speculation: What is Swayman's Trade Value?

[Buda]

Swayman to Anaheim makes zero sense. Especially when it involves retaining on Gibson for 3 years, and trading away Zegras.

Zegras + Dostal > Swayman with a 10+ mil cap hit and 3.5 mil retained on Gibson.

Dostal is the Ducks goalie for the next 10 years.

I could see Anaheim being a "3rd wheel" in a trade if for some reason Boston wants Gibson, but as you said, I see no reason for Anaheim to want to trade for Swayman and his new contract when they have Dostal and his potential.

Isn't this where Vegas usually swoops in and gets the latest name on all the NHL news websites?

So let's see chaos:

Swayman + ___________

for

Eichel back to New England.

HAHA... I only brought up Matty Benier........WOW!

 

[Coach Parker]

HAHA... I only brought up Matty Benier........WOW!

I mean, this is all about promoting and making news for the NHL. Swayman is topic #1 and Vegas always gets their target and casts aside anyone who prevents that from happening.

Of course this won't happen but I didn't see them getting Hertl and Hanafin either.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Byfield and Rittich for Swayman and Carlo.

Losing Byfield sucks for LA, but this instantly fixes their Backend,

Except that immediately punches a giant hole in their top end, thus defending the whole purpose. LA's offense was already average at best last season and they're stars are aging out. They need Byfield way more than Swayman.

No harm in having some fun now and then........

Can't do it.

After your suggestion, I reviewed the numbers and Schmaltz fits perfectly with us right now. More of a right wing, good scorer, good defensive player, lots of blocks and takeaways. Gives us a top nine of

Zacha-Lindholm-Pasta
Frederic-Poitras-Schmaltz
Marchand-Coyle-Geekie

Plus four big bodies to rotate into the fourth line. Even with the downgrade from last year to Korpisalo and Ingram in the nets, they should put up enough points to stay in contention most nights.

We’ll see I guess.

 

[HuGort]

They'll get a deal done. Boston not going to piss their season away for a million dollars. Swayman not going to sit the season and miss out on 8 million

lol, Boston has the Jet warming up

 

[archangel2]

The AI response that is floating around is funny

 

[Demon Eyes]

Trading Swayman LA, then La flips him to Toronto.

 

[dredeye]

We did pretty well with the likes of Coyle/Zacha as our 1/2 punch down the middle so we'll be fine. Just a matter of figuring out who he has the most chemistry with at this point.

 

[Bizz]

The only team I can see that could use an upgrade in net over their current options and aren't hampered by cap constraints (that means you Edmonton) is Colorado. Maybe also Detroit if they feel they can make the playoffs this year.

Colorado also has to extend Rantanen soon so keep that in mind also.

I see what you did there!!

 

[Hookslide]

If needed, the Bruins should add.

 

[M2Beezy]

I can see him headed to the Canucks when Demko gets cleared

To Vancouver: Swayman, 2025 3rd

To Boston: Demko, Hoglander, Bleuger, Juulsen, Woo, 2026 4th

 

[Strangle]

Boston really doesn’t like to pay their players. Short hands with deep pockets

 

[Over the volcano]

Boston really doesn’t like to pay their players. Short hands with deep pockets

Just ask Pastrnak and McAvoy

 

[Mrfenn92]

They DON’T overpay

 

[bb_fan]

Boston really doesn’t like to pay their players. Short hands with deep pockets

ya, its great to stay near the bottom of the salary cap every year like they do....

 

[Sheppy]

Pay or overpay?

 

[Youngguns1380]

CBJ seriously needs a very good goalie to help out the young defense. They are going to make mistakes with all the young forwards and defense.

Elvis with 25% retention or Tarasov, ‘25 1st round (top 5 protected), ‘25 3rd round, ‘25 4th round.

Trying not to pull any prospects out because all are needed to help the with growth and scoring. With losing Johnny Guadreau it really hurt the trajectory of this team (not trying to be insensitive but reality).

Just spitballing.

Has CBJ accumulated enough young talent to exit their rebuild? This feels a little premature, though it could work next year IMO. This is the team I've thought would be the best fit for Swayman if the Bruins do decide to trade him. Right now though, this feels like a Sens trading for DbC, Chychrun kind of mistake.

Boston really doesn’t like to pay their players.

There's been a thread floating around on the main board lately asking why Boston's been such a successful org. Well, one reason is probably because they understand what the cap means and that you can't overpay a select few players, and leave the rest of the roster barren, like teenagers and likeminded do with their fantasy teams, if you want to be a true contender.
