big developments today on the Swayman – Bruins negotiation with Boston management deciding to go public…..how does this impact the relationship and how does this play out?
I'm a Leafs fan and Bruins hater so l LOVE seeing this happen! Especially because those dummies traded Ullmark
😂👍😂👍😂👍😂👍😂
I don’t think you understand Coach Bob has turned goalies careers around before. Look at halak, (who was looking like his career was ending before Boston) it suddenly got resurrected and he was one of the best backups in the league. They got the best out of Khudobin and turned him around to get a big contract by Dallas and that led to him doing well there. Even ullmark when he came in he was a good goalie but he wasn’t like elite, and then he became so.. this can happen again I truly expect Korpi to be a number one starter and to prove everyone wrong.
Let him sit or trade him. Problem solved.
Swayman has all the leverage. The Bruins make a mistake of trading Ullmark. This is all on Bruins management!!!
You can blame the whole fiasco on Swayman’s agent
Are the Bruins CHEAP?
It's funny that the Bruins especially Cam Neely, are calling out Swayman. Pot meet kettle since Cam Neely did the hold out thing back in the 1990's when he played for the Bruins
Oh no, he’s not loyal to a multi billion dollar franchise that sees him as nothing more than an asset. Bro wants to get his money. Wouldn’t you?
Very rare for a team to do this. Maybe Bruins offer 8.5M x 4, long term is probably now off the table. Sounds like Swayman is not budging from the rumoured 10M number. I think Swayman is just about greed, spare me the "set the market" for goalies narrative. Sad, but Bruins will be the ones to cave when push comes to shove. Swayman has all the leverage.
If swayman won't accept 8×8 . He is in fact the problem
I don't expect Korpi to be any better than league average. If he's at more than like a .905 I'd be shocked. You are saying that the Bruins went to the public court of appeals. I don't think that's the case as much as the Bruins were clearing the air because of all of the miss information that it seems pretty clearly Swaymans camp started. So all of the people reporting all of the Bruins weren't communicating talk. Or the stuff about boston offered him 4 years at 6m and then stopped talking. That was being reported to not be coming from anyone in the Bruins organization, and it was reported to not be coming from Swayman directly. Only leads one source. So yeah the Bruins just stopped Gross trying to negotiate this contract with the fans and just had his client made a villain in the eyes of the fan base. Turn a bout is fair play. So we'll see if Swayman continues the negotiations as hard now. It was easy when he was free and clear and the bruins just looked like they were low balling him and playing hardball. No now it's clear they gave him a more than fair offer. A higher than market rate offer. And he is still refusing.
I think the Bruins have already relented too much by going to 8x$8million…it's more than fair, given the circumstances. Swayman has not done enough in his career to warrant being paid among the top 3 goalies in the league.
This is Swayman's issue his agent has a history of making his clients sit out when there are VERY fair offers on the table. I dont begrudge a player for trying to make as much as he can. However Swayman has not proven he is a #1 goalie that can play 50+ games. The Bruins made a VERY fair offer at 8×8. He would be a top 5 paid goaltender. If he wanted to reset the Goalie market salary he would have needed to win a cup or 2, and play 53+ games every year. However he is not that player so NO he should not reset the Goaltending market.
Trading Ullmark was not a mistake, at all. This is all on Swayman agent being spiteful over arbitration last year. He dragged out Nylander negotiations to December 1 last year
BRUINS had two great goalies last year if they have none this year, oh well.
Why do you sound like you're taking the player's side in this? How could you take his side!?
Greedy selfish individual…..trade him
Why would they trade Ulmark before signing Swayman It's time sweeny and Neely be replaced
When is 64M not enough ? Just ridiculous he's turned that down!
Sway asked for a long-term deal at what 5 – 6 last year. He said no lets go to arbitration."" On July 1st, Don goes and spends precisely what 13 million or so leaving 8 million left instead of negotiating. He knew what Sway wanted and went and spent away knowing that he still needed to sign Swayman. Sway is a top 5 goalie in the league who's only 25. An 8 year deal will be all prime years, so it should be more money. Now Cam is talking sh!@ saying Sway is greedy. Sweeney is one who fu!@ed this up. Swayman just wants what fair, but he's dealing with ex players who think every contract negotiation is supposed to be competitive like their old playing days. Sweeney is a prick, and Neeley is an ass!@#$.
He is trying to demand too much. But the Bruins should have dealt with 1 before they dealt with 1a.
Who cares just get rid of him he ain't worth 10 million lol.
Cam Neely taking negotiations public with sarcasm & derision is how you end up with neither Ullmark nor Swayman. It comes back to what you've been saying about arbitration last year. Swayman said in an interview this summer he's way more educated, business savvy, and has a much better idea of his value than last season. Translation: The Bruins created this problem and hurt themselves again today.
It was a regular media day the Bruins do every preseason not a special press conference
Brat
I think Matt Murray is available
Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.
Love ur channel but you are getting critical pieces of information wrong. Swayman took the Bruins to arbitration! Please, please, PLEASE stop apreading false information!
It’s more than fair. He can either sign it or sit out. Don’t care.
Long time Bruins fan here. There has been a good amount of negative untruths put out there from some media outlets about Sweeny and the B's brass, more than likely fueled by the Swayman camp as well. In Boston many fans think that the 8/8M is over paying him. He is a 7.5M netminder at the moment. He cannot be paid for a salary cap that is not for sure going up. I think it is time to ship him out, he is not and never will be a committed Bruin at this point IMO.
Swayman should definitely take that offer if it is indeed on the table. He was lights out in the playoffs last year, but realistically he just doesn’t have the body of work to justify being a top paid goalie in this league. He needs more historical data under his belt before those numbers are considered fair.
Seabass be angry!
If I'm not mistaken, Jeremy Swayman took the Bruins to arbitration last summer, not the other way around.
Swayman's agent has filled him with delusions of grandure, and forced this dumb idea that Swayman has to look out for the future of goalie contracts. His agent is spinning him like a top and ruining his carreer.
Willing to bet if they did go to arbitration this year, the number would be closer to Sea Bass's number. Swayman deserved a hefty raise no doubt, but you can't deny the fact he's never been an undisputed no. 1 goalie. Bobrovsky already had two Vezinas under his belt when he got his 10 mil/yr. I never would have thought it of Swayman, but how much of an ego maniac do you have to be to take it upon yourself to "reset the market" for every other goaltender in the league? Go get your 10m/yr on a basement dwelling team or one that loses in the 1st round every year. 🤭
Swayman’s aspirations are to be in the business of hockey. He hasn’t earned an 8×8 offer let alone 10. Bruins should move on.
Dude get a pop shield
