[@Hizens69]

[@burtoncaruthers2854]

If that $10 million asking price is true, semd his ass packing. While extremely talented, Swayman was coddled alongside another elite goalie and has yet to prove he can handle the workload of a #1 goalie. This whole debacle, whether he's really looking for $10 mill or not, falls squarely on incompetent GM Don Sweeney. He handed Sway's camp every bit of leverage by rushing the Ullmark trade before locking Swayman up to a proper contract. Not mention he somehow got roped into taking Korpisalo's horrible contract back, which he may have done as insurance against failing to sign Swayman.

[@elvisbullets7382]

He hasn't proven that he can play 50 - 60 games a year, he had one good playoff run...he is way ahead of his ski's. I'm willing to give Bussi and Korpisalo a try if Swayman is demanding 10 mill. SMH.

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

And it's not just about making it through a full load, it's about being great (eg Linus Ullmark) through the it all. Even Linus broke down in the playoffs via injury at the end of his Vezina year. Swayman has been the benefactor of a great system. Consider a lot of decent goalies will benefit as well.

[@FMJeeping]

We should not have dealt Ullmark until Swayman was signed. It gave away any bargaining power and any back up plan. Also what has he done long term to show that he deserves 10 mil? He deserves to get paid, but not give him the house. I understand he wants the best contract possible, but this is F off money. And he knows he can get it since we have zero proven options. Jonas is not the guy( maybe with the d core we have now) until the other guys are ready to go. Im sorry. I just can't stand how this whole thing was handled by the Bruins FO and the fact that Sway is literally putting the screws to the Bruins knowing the cap is maxed. Maybe it's time to let him dangle and see what Korpisalo and the ahl guys can do????? I just wish this was all over. It makes the organization look bad.

@@craigtarburn9852also doesn’t help, that he had a modified ntc, so he chose where he went, they wanted to flip him to LA for a retained PLD at 25% which I mean pld for 6 million I’m sure he would of turned it around in Boston, like most do, but like you said don and management wanted a 1st and Ottawa was really the only team that needed a starting goalie who were shopping, I think the pick is going to be worth it anyways, dean is gonna be one of the steals, only reason he didn’t go higher was due to him wanting to play his highschool years in Canada and wanted to go the NCAA route, I seen him at a AAA Tournament it was easy for him the guy could skate end to end and not be touched, I’m sure once BC gets him into shape he could be a Canada wjc candidate and there he can really showcase his skill, don’t think he’ll make Boston next year but by 2026 I think he’ll be a big part of our team, when you have those late picks you swing for the fences we did it with our last 25th overall pick and he turned into a superstar so I’m being positive lol 😂, at this point I obviously wish we would have ully for the backup reason but we moved on and we’ve gotten better up front, hopefully if he wants and gets the money we’re talking about lysell or merkulov take a massive step

Absolutely greedy from Swayman and his agent. Can’t stand these players who put their teams in positions to fail because they think that they’re worth more than what they are.

IF and thats a big IF we can believe that report an face value...Swayman and his agent are off their meds. If he or his agent think the Bruins should trade people just to free up cap space for an unproven full time goalie, then they are crazy. I am having a hard time swallowing 8 million for any amount of time. If I am Sweeney and company I am on the phone shopping him around. We have the best goaltending coach in the game and our strong defense will make any goalie look good. Again....only if this story is true. This contract should have been signed already IMO...like 6 million for 4 or 5 years tops right now..throw in a limited no trade clause as well... After that time and he plays as well as he has then yeah...pay him. Swayman gonna generate some hate real fast here LOL Fans are not gonna boo his agent !!!

[@danmoody6192]

A bridge deal if he takes it even at a lower cap hit could end up bad for the bruins. With the cap going up and 2 elite seasons from sway (which he’s likely to have) that number could go from his agent asking for $10 to asking for $12-$14. Especially with what his agent did with Nylander, didn’t sign the extension early and played out most of his final season where Nylander lit it up and turned what was suppose to be a $8-$10 million extension to a $11.5 million extension.

[@billharvey9959]

[@stephendimino332]

And have Joonas Korpisalo as a starter? Seems a bit risky to me but it could work, definitely not a good long term plan. I don't think Bussi or DiPietro will ever become good starters in the NHL. It would be nice to get better wingers for Pastrnak but a great goaltender can steal a game, it's much harder for a winger to

[@billharvey9959]

[@coreysghostglowmask8650]

Exactly

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

Consider the irony that Korpisalo finds a new game in the Bruins system and does what Swayman did whilst playing a lesser load with Ullmark...put up great numbers and challenge the need for spending that much ($10M) on a goalie. Remember, the logic for getting rid of Linus was about how much a team should absorb for that position. And let's not discount the goalies currently in the system (eg Bussi). Many of them do quite well in the B's system, particularly with a big defensive corps in front of them. Where would Swayman's stats be had played in Ottawa or Anaheim?

[@kennethsonia5350]

He hasn't played a full season as the #1 Goalie

[@SomeOne-uy4kj]

Even Linus broke down via injury in his recent Vezina year. The more ya play, the more difficult it is to be and stay healthy. And then there's that upping one's game for the playoffs after that. And there have been many decent goalies who have done that. The one from STL did that against the Bruins a few years ago in the finals.

[@9999deoxys]

24 mil for 4 years would be good.

[@marclefebvre7071]

There is no way Jacobs is going to pay 8 to 10mm a year for a goalie. Not happening, and pretty clear Swayman is souring on Boston and Swayman is going to ask for the same money even if Sweeney offers him a bridge contract for 2 years. Sweeney is probably on the phone trying to deal Swayman now. I would not bring Swayman into camp. He will be a huge distraction. Sweeney got Korpisalo and Sweeney mentioned in one of his pressers last season that one of his Providence goalies is screaming for a shot at the big team so bring that kid into camp too.

[@bigdoggames9795]

If this is true, sounds like he's being brainwashed by his agent. Run with Bussi and hope goalie Bob can work his magic with Korps. Use the $8m cap space to sign an elite centre or winger instead.

The best back-up in the NHL wants $10M a year. That's what this situation is. Because he's not a proven starter that can carry a team in the season let alone carry them in the playoffs. If they went to game 7 in a conference final or cup final - and Swayman kept that GAA and Save % looking great - then he'd have a point to that $10M. But that didn't happen. He got lit up in 2 games against Florida. I guess he forgot. He should sign at 7M AAV for a 3 year term, prove himself as a starter. And then go after $10-$11 a year IF he's worth that at that point.

You don’t think that could happen here? At the end of the day, it’s Swayman’s decision and he is choosing to make this as difficult as possible for his team and the fans.

10m would make him tied for the highest paid active goalie in the league with Bob (Price isn't playing so his 10.5 doesn't matter). Let's not forget Bob just came off a season where he was third in vezina voting and won a cup. Bob has also previously won the Vezina twice and I believe he's been in the top 5 voting 6 times. He's argueably the best active goalie in hockey hardware wise. 10m would put him over multiple cup winner, and vezina trophy winner, and conn smythe winner Vasilevskiy. Swayman has won nothing. The Bruins won the Presidents trophy mostly on the back of Ullmarks Vezina winning season, technically Swaymans name is on the Jennings trophy but again that was driven by Ullmarks vezina winning season. I think that Swayman has the potential to be an elite goalie. But he's never played 50 games in an NHL season. He's had those times every year where you go...aught ohh. Like last year people forget going into the Allstar break he was at .925. He finished the year at .916. That was a huge dropoff in the same period Ullmark went from a .909 to a .915 and it's what created the question of who should start going into the playoffs. Giving this kid a longterm deal would be a huge gamble. Giving him a long term deal at a huge cap hit could be franchise crushing. If this rumor ends up being true trading Ullmark for that terrible return and freeing up no cap doing it looks even worse. If Sway want's 10 the play would have been forcing Swayman to arbitration, extending Ullmark, and trading Swayman when a deal of good value presented itself. Paying 10 million dollars for a gamble when you like could have had a guy who's been consistently good for you for 6-6.5 seems pretty stupid.

[@danmoody6192]

Considering Bob and vasy signed there deals 5 and 6 yrs ago, the cap has since gone up and is projected to gradually increase each year. If you look at the salary cap in the yrs they signed, they asked for around 13% of the cap. Sway asking for around 11% of the cap which is def rich for what he has done so far but also considering a lot of young nhl guys are signing big $ extensions based on their potential, what he’s asking for isn’t unreasonable. He is more than likely to be an elite goalie who will compete for the vezina in yrs to come and a $10 million long term deal can look really good a few years from now where the cap will be significantly higher.
