Bruins Training Camp Questions | Bruins Beat

Throwing Korpisalo into that Ullmark trade looks pretty smart now 😂.

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

Swayman at $10M; Macavoy at $9.5M...riiiiiiight. Pretty good players, yeah, but not toppers. What have they won? How many finals have they propelled their team to? Note: Macavoy was an addon to a team that got there without him. Almost a quarter of the foreseeable payroll tied up in these two? Nah!

[@BrandonBelliveau-b2t]

Lol I mean 10 million is too much lol but go look at mcavoys grade from pro hockey focus, the only dman who are ever ahead of him are fox and makar, and 9.5 isn’t that much for a number one dman, he’s a top 5-7 dman in the league lol idc about 75-80 points he gets 50, hits and plays good 2 way game, even nhl lists usually have chucky right after makar and fox and maybe Hughes now that he just won the Norris. But I mean even say they gave him the 10 million 19.5/88 is kinda gross 19.5/101 isn’t that bad which is what it’ll be in maybe 3 years or so you’ll probably see a 3.5-4.5 rise in cap each year. If they sign him to a cheaper deal say 3-4x6.5-7 in 4 years if he plays lights out he will be the highest paid goalie in the nhl and will be in a worse boat because shesty and otter probably want 10-11 per year, if sway lights up the league for 3-4 years he’ll want 11-12, which is even worse, I kinda would like to meet in the middle let’s get him at 7.5-8 for 6-8 years and for the most part next 5 years or so our d core is set in place minus peeke, and our top 6, 4/6 guys are locked up for minimum 3 years bottom 6 is pretty well stacked with guys who play those positions really well, so locking up the cap isn’t that big of a deal like I said it’s going up but I also don’t want to pay that much for sway so hopefully somebody gives in and hopefully it’s not the bruins

@@BrandonBelliveau-b2t When Macavoy was out, Lindholm shined. Imagine one of three goalies currently in the B's system- including Korpi -upping their game in BOS, as many have done. Note: Linus won a Vezina! And that same question would come up: how much to spend on the goalie position? Is that not what moved Linus? If the B's can get it done with Kori and Bussi, should they? Bottom line: who is going to go all Tim Thomas in the playoffs? A full load even had Linus getting hurt for the big show. And Swayman was not the answer. We'll see. Note: I appreciate the opinions of others. Cheers!

10 mil no way crazy maybe 7 mil 3 years.show me a full year how he does 😮

[@paulym5814]

Swayman doesn’t deserve a huge contract yet. He still needs to prove himself in a multi season stint. So he did good last season, but they didn’t win. When you win you prove you can do it. Maybe he get injured this season and sits out the season. Then what?

[@youngp1251]

yes trade him for some goal scorers..............swayman will be a one hit wonder......bussi isbetter

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

A mediocre goalie who gets hot around a great lineup wins Cups.

[@BrandonBelliveau-b2t]

@@youngp1251loooool bussi was struggling at dev camp what are you talking about bussi has never played an nhl game before so again what the hell are ya talking about, swayman is twice the goalie bussi is 😂, bussi will be a career backup that’s his floor; his ceiling is a starter on a rebuilding team

[@BrandonBelliveau-b2t]

Problem is we pay him a bridge he becomes a UFA afterwards and if he lights it up he’ll want 10-12 million, your seeing guys like faber and Beniers get massive extensions based on what they think there going to do for there teams, not that they have had the numbers or experience that warrants 7-8.5 million that they got

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

@@BrandonBelliveau-b2t I'd put him on the short contract and start moving him now.

[@Gordoff-44]

Just say NO to Wheeler! Locker room cancer and he’s fried.

[@gregrose6915]

[@jonathanschadenfreude9603]
