Swayman has the leverage, they traded ullmark and now swayman can just hold out for the best deal or ask for a trade.... Bad move trading ullmark before signing sway.

[@ashepherd39675]

This…they traded a very recent Vezina winner in order to give him the number 1 spot. He can ask for what ever he wants and Boston is in a position where they have to give Swayman what he wants. By trading Ullmark, Boston told him how much they value him and now need him

[@TheFoolintherainn]

Korpasalo has similar statistics as Linus did When you folks going to get it? Goalie Bob the coach is The wizard of Oz behind our net. He knows what he's doing Answer this - when's the last time a USA born / solely USA trained goalie got a Stanley Cup? Nope, Tim Thomas was Born in the USA But played in Europe and came back an absolute beast Jonathan quick got international experience through Olympics and got his first Stanley Cup the same year he got his first Olympic medal Jeremy can't scorpion post to post Auston Matthews didn't show up for playoffs You need to take a closer look at what coach goalie Bob does for a living Hand picking teams rosters and locations for his goalies Jeremy doesn't beat big boy teams in their houses out west except for perhaps Edmonton You can say he beat Vegas but that was in boston, Mark Stone nor Jack eichel made that trip I have no idea what you're looking at with Jeremy Swayman. He's a legend in his own mind. Definitely has not proven himself to be a 1A. Here's the answer to that trivia question -the last USA born, trained goalie to get a Stanley Cup was in 1994. Ritcher on NYR

The memory of arbitration has certainly carried over. The 3.5mil awarded was bad enough, (outside the top 25, seemed like a gift from the league) but the Bruins chose the 1 year over the 2 years available. The management really damaged that relationship

One thing I will say about leaks: there are some teams that still keep a tight ship. Basically, if I hear about a rumor in regards to the Blues, I can pretty much guarantee nothing is going to come of it. Even in the history of the team, there are a number of things that have happened and people in the local hockey community know about it, but you will never find anything online from a reputable source. I think quite a bit of it is that the local media mostly toes the company line. I can think of a specific story about the Blues which leaked from an out of town reporter a few years ago, and it was one of those things that I’d been sworn to secrecy about WAY before I saw it online. And the local people who said it was made up 100% knew it was true.

[@IHateMyAccountName]

Things like the O'Reilly trade were air tight.

[@andrewgreen815]

Your right. No Blues rumors play out. Or don't play out the way the "experts" figure.

[@nicko5945]

The only people claiming it won’t work are those that are lazy and haven’t researched Utah. I can understand folks not knowing much about the state but even a little research will show ya that it should work pretty easily. Those that claim otherwise are just being willfully ignorant.

[@jasonvoorhees8545]

Agreed. I think Utah will be way more successful than Arizona ever was. I don't think the NHL should bother with Arizona anytime soon. Maybe give them an AHL team and see how it goes for 10 - 20 years.

[@Uuusssaaas]

50% of the seats in a small stadium are obstructed view. That was the Coyotes first mistake. Of course the Yotes were at least smart enough to relocate to a large arena where half the audience couldn't see. Utah is repeating history with 5,000 less seats that can see the ice. Good Luck.

[@mr_maestro]

@@Uuusssaaas sorry didn’t mean to imply this is perfect. It’s not. There are real challenges, the arena being one. I happen to think that all parties involved are up to the task, though. And that is more the point I’m trying to make. Challenges yes, ability to meet them also yes. It could fail and I’d be wrong. But the fan support, ownership competency and government approvals has me feeling confident.

[@geoffroi-le-Hook]

Colorado is closer to Utah than to Arizona. Vegas is a bit farther but manageable.

I just realized that it's a bit odd that the NHL shield was used when Shannon was discussing the NHLPA news given the NHL is the organization the PA faces off against during labour disputes. I'm wondering if a specific NHLPA magnet would be a good idea for the collection.

[@SlugManROTMG]

6.2 was the exact figure id expect swayman to be offered, commented that on your last vid about him. not sure how much over that he can expect to get

[@kartzstormstool861]

atleast 2M more

[@atigersgrin]

My guess would be $6m per RFA year and $8m per UFA year. Swayman has two more RFA years. So 3y/$20m or 4y/$28m.

[@ajgauvin3]

I was thinking 7mil max. Anywhere between 6.2-7 seems fair value thus far.

[@leftcoaster67]

Absolutely Shannon, I want to see a deal done by next summer. My fear is if you notice a lot of recent contracts are being paid out in signing bonus. Which means the agents seem to either a) want to make buy out proof contracts b) Lockout proof contracts or both.

[@TheSlashmaster7]

I gotta say I agree 100% with your take on the swayman situation. While Ive said I'd be a little weary giving him ALL remaining cap space I agree he deserves more than 6.2mil. if those numbers are too far I'd ideally like to see him signed at 7mil for 5 or 6 years. He's good but we haven't seen him play 55-60+ games yet. It reminds me of oettinger. Has a bang up playoffs and everyone thinks he's the guy but Dallas didn't overpay because they hadn't seen him as a true number 1. Boston would be wise to do the same

[@Scantronimus466]

[@oldhab7890]

Great take on the Swayman situation. PWHL needs to take care with the team names. The league needs as much "flash" as possible to get fans in the seats.

[@elephantrange]

About Ullmark, he was thrown under the bus after one admittedly costly mistake vs Florida in the 2023 playoffs. Gave Swayman a bit more job security than was intended, and now someone will pay. If the Sens 'miraculously' make the playoffs, and Ullmark most likely leads the charge, the B's organization have ony themselves to blame. (As a former Bruins and current Sens fan, I'd find it amusing in the extreme).

[@vipeholmskolan6052]

And Ullmark was playing despite injured in that series even.
