Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman voted an All Star

[Midship]

I was on that list.

But unless you know what the Ullmark returns out there were, it's just griping to gripe.

Which I, of course, do not. But this is also the same FO from 2016 when everyone knew the team was going nowhere, and instead of trading Eriksson at the deadline the Bruins ADDED Lee Stempniak and John-Michael Liles, giving up FOUR draft picks in the process just to miss the f***ing playoffs. No idea what the return for Eriksson would have been in that case, but can say with complete confidence that the wrong moves were made. Same thing with the 23-24 goalie situation.

Remember when a bunch of goalies were supposedly going to get traded last summer and almost none did because no one had cap room? I do.

That was a 3rd and 4th round pick in 2016, a 2nd and 5th round pick in 2017.

The only really significant player to draft after the 3rd round in 2016 or 2nd in 2017 was Jeremy Swayman.

No great loss there.

And thats that.

Not sure if it's been talked about in the salary cap/proposal thread already, but....Ty Anderson mentioned 8/56 as what's been thrown around for a contract extension.

How would we all feel about that?

I would feel real good about it. That will almost certainly mean the end of the Linus era, which sucks, because I love the guy, but Swayman is the future and I think we all knew this was likely to happen when it was clear Swayman was no flash in the pan. Set in goal for years, and hopeful about Bussi as a backup, then possibly Svedeback, Dyck et al. in the pipelines.

Let's pretend Linus overtakes him here, gets MOST of the playoff starts. Let's pretend Sways numbers come down a bit from here.

What deal does he get then? Any change?

If Linus supplants him again and has a good playoff- is a big piece in winning a couple rounds- I’d be willing to trade sway if he wants much more than 6. Ullmark plays nice with others and is a willing mentor

I would think Bruins try to use it as leverage the same way his agent would use him playing well as leverage like they been doing .

Linus back to back bad playoffs has something to prove.I hope they start him.

 

[James Walker]

Swayman must now inherit the amazing "Technicolor Five Hole" moniker.

Swayman has more value and no trade protection. Ullmark looks healthy and focused and has been the better goalie since before the TDL. I mean they Bruins have something In Dyck most likely, Ullmark isn't That old and goalies are largely an anomaly.

Ullmark doesnt get you a 1C, does Swayman? No one should be untouchable for the right price.

I like the idea of trading Swayman ($7 mil +) and keeping $5 mil Ullmark. Groom Bussi and or whomever for Ullmark replacement.

I would be okay with that too, but not until we see Ullmark play well in the playoffs. He had no experience there before coming here and hasn't been great in the two PO's he's been in with us. Granted last year he was injured and should have been shut down, but still, I would like to know if he has the bigger game yips or not before sending Sway out the door.

Its not terrible, but I only go there if he wants too much. Much like DeBrusk, I would love him to stay, but at a limited price portfolio.

Swayman is a hot ticket to other teams if last TDL is any indication and if he allows us to pry a young 1C from another team then I wont scoff at that.

I like Swayman, want him to be our Rask and retire a B. But there is a solid line where I go, nah. Not at that price.

 

[JCRO]

He's starting to assert himself as the 1B.

[McGarnagle]

The last 5 or 6 weeks Linus has been better.

I don't want either of them overworked going into the playoffs, but it'd be nice to know if either can maintain a heater playing some back to back starts down the stretch.

Lol Swayman is not getting 7m, not even close, sorry to say!. Book it!

What if he is asking for 7.5?

A true 1C is miles more important and necessary to win a cup than a vezina goalie.

It's amazing that GMs have to make 2-3-4-5-6-7 year decisions. This board has traded and untraded each of these goalies 3 times each, lol.

Now we're back to trade Sway. Tune in next month when he's untraded.

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

These guys were in Boston for the Maine-Cornell game. Thought some might like to see their creativity.

To be fair I also think Sweeney has tried to trade Ullmark 2-3 times. 2 times at least that we are 100% sure of.
