Honestly watching the PC where both Sweeny and another guy and the second guy completely disagreed with Sweeny so something tells me there's also trouble in Bruins Management if the management is fighting.
Well Bruins only have $8.6M in cap space (projected) right now. Swayman wants high 8s. The fact that he isn’t accepting 8x8 means his agent is terrible. It’s Swaymans call and if that’s not enough, see you later sorry.
@@Johnnyhockey-w6i Honestly as a Leafs fan if Swayman leaves Boston it aint no water off my back as it just makes it easier for the Leafs to win the division.
Sweeney has made drafting mistakes for sure but when it comes to negotiating and putting a great team on the ice that is cap compliant He is one of the best in the league. What he is doing is what most GMS should do but don’t. Team Sweeney on this one. Send him packing.
They had to trade Ullmark when they did. He was due to update his no trade list on July 1st and if Ottawa was on there, it would limit Sweeney’s options. TSN needs to do their homework.
@@DB-gr7ch Ullmark is/was already signed. They didn't need to sign him for another year. Obviously, looking back now, you trade away Swayman but who the hell turns down 8x8M. Big insult to Bruins. I would say good luck elsewhere and get the 1st round picks.
8×4 seems more than reasonable. He's never played more than 42 gms i believe and has never been a starter, but his saves % in the playoffs was 0.920% which is insane. So meet in the middle, get him at 8 for 4 years and then when the contract is up, he can get that big payday and go for the longer term.
@@Johnnyhockey-w6i kinda what I'm getting at. After 4 years the cap will be up quite a bit more, plus he will have a few full seasons under his belt so then he can get the good for life payday and term. But ya I wouldn't expect a player or their agent not to be greedy, unless his name is Crosby.
@@TheLoneDrow22 turning down 8 x 8 is rad to me. Swayman wants like high 8s. Like if he’s not careful he will have no contract and sit one year, forgoing any revenue. That would kill his career.
@@Johnnyhockey-w6i true, but he does have Boston management bent over a barrel with them moving Ullmark without having this already worked out. The Bruins are a decent team, but they definitely are a lot weaker every game without Swayman between the pipes.
@@TheLoneDrow22 They had to move Ullmark before July 1st since Linus was allowed to revise his no-trade list after that date. Had they waited to trade him and Ullmark put Ottawa on the list, seriously limits Sweeney’s options.
Also I would be shocked if Swayman at this point signs long term. Would u want to play for a team who airs the dirty laundry publicly like this? Sweeney basically called Swayman greedy.
You sir are absolutely correct. Let's stick to the facts. The Bruins "floated out there" $64 million. That is a lie. They never offered $64 million. If the Bruins offered $64 million why not say we offered Swayman $64 million over 8 years. They did not say anything of the sort. So Boston, what did you offer? or did you even offer anything? If you did it would be a written offer, so produce the offer. Boston is smearing this kids future. I doubt Jeremy wants to play for an organization that is not ethical. Let's start here. I say Boston owes Jeremy a public apology.
@@Kokobazonkos NAH man. Considering most goalies are being paid like 3 line forward and defensemen and yet with no goalie u cant win Goalies are the only NHLers IMO that are underpaid.
He is being greedy. Obviously the last two salary arbitrations he went through left him salty. He wants high 8s and Bruins have like $8.6M of cap space. He wants to milk them knowing the cap is going up. He turned down 8x8. That’s rad.
Trade him to San Jose for some used water bottles and a draft pick. Thornton whined...gone. Seguin whined...gone. swayman whined....goodbye. this team has been a perennial playoff participant because the first expectation of any bruin is team first. You get paid well enough to live like a king.....greed in the world of the spoked B ends with a plane ride to a perennial loosing team. So Swayman, a great beginning to your career doesn't warrant getting paid like your already in the hall of fame. The team will be fine without you and instead of listening to your greedy agent listen to your head. Your part of a great historic team and you think you deserve to have your ass kissed ? In 3 years your career will consist of playing in Europe for ? But you'll own it. So good luck working at a car dealership when your 40.
Remember that when it happens to your team, because it will. There have never been so many players who are only playing the gmae for money, don't care a fiddler's fart about their teammates or winning championships. Lindros was the original posterchild, and Russians are the worst.
Yikes. Reporting WRONG information here, guys. Swayman was NOT TAKEN TO ARBITRATION. HE took the Bruins to arbitration. I think it's time to start reporting that correctly. Fans seem to think Swayman was wronged in an arbitration battle that was the Bruins' creation, and it really was not. Swayman wanted to be paid more than the team had in cap space, and is putting the team in that situation again
When Jeremy Swayman wins a Vezina, a Conn Smythe and/or a Stanley Cup, at least once MAYBE this conversation would have some merit. But until then, he's a whiny, unprofessional poseur who should shut up and play good hockey long enough to earn the financial reward he thinks he's already due, despite having achieved nothing.
Swayan what’s out because ullmark is in Ottawa and swayan has no more goalie too hug after the game. See that thing about goalies hugging each other after the game when they win is stupid , but I know it’s just a game and you should be affectionate to your teammates but it’s kinda cheesy and know the Bruins have no more hugs 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a 50 year fan I share your pain. But will say Sweeney’s work has given us a decade of competitive teams with a lot of playoff success. Best era I have had in 50 years as a Bruins fan. And he can’t draft worth beans but is still good at icing an unbelievably competitive team. There’s a lot of things I don’t like about them, but there’s no way we’ll get a better gm. I have complete faith. Send the goalie packing. Damn good goalie but not a game changer.

cancer instead.

Not that easy. He wants long term and he knows the cap is going up. He and his agent are being greedy.

Neely coining his infamous line about Swayman reminds me of Torts saying 'we're tired of the 25% rule' about his goalie...

He shouldn't take 64 as that is 8x8 and he should only want 3 years term max
