Value of: Jeremy Swayman

[SPV]

Most Bruins trade ideas seem to focus on moving Ullmark, but what would be your offer if we shopped Swayman instead.

Edit -
For people that ask why, first off, they probably wouldn’t. But just to make an argument, Swayman doesn’t have a no trade clause, he’d bring back a better package than Ullmark, and there’s a slim chance that there could be friction with the front office for making him go to arbitration last year. But again, they probably wouldn’t.

Darnell Nurse and 4 first round picks for Lindholm and Swayman

I'd imagine if they entertained the idea, they'd want to trade him to the West.

Metro division needs goalies too

I'd give pretty much whatever Boston wanted from LA (within reason)

I have to agree. You don't trade a potential franchise goalie within your own conference.

They really shouldn't trade him at all, but I don't wanna go against the spirit of the thread.

Why would you trade him lol

Because in reality all the discussion in this forum is basically fantasy hockey. And for discussion sake, maybe Anderson, Laferriere, Turcotte, Portillo, and another prospect/pick or two. We’ll throw in Gryz to replace Anderson in the lineup, and pretty much any of the scrubs on our fourth line. LOL.

You need a two goalie system at this point. The Bruins don't really have any upcoming players that are going to break their bank, so this wouldn't be cap related either. I really can't see them ever trading Swayman.

They should move Ullmark over Swayman, obviously.

But they would be foolish to not at least gauge what is there. Ullmark has trade protection and only one year of control left. Swayman has no trade protection and years left of RFA control. They could get a a lot more for Swayman. Ullmark is 30, not 35, so it’s not like committing to him is insane.

I don’t even know how to value Swayman. Guys at his level of talent and age just don’t get moved. Even Schneider for 9OA isn’t great since Schneider was two years older and had never played more than 33 games in a season.

So you would at least have to listen and see if anyone absolutely made you say yes.

Boston slogan: You want Swayman, you gotta Sway me... I mean Sweeney.

Byfield and Clarke I assume are off the table. So then it becomes a quantity trade around guys like Laf or Turcotte or whatever. At that point seems like it would make more sense to loop back to Ullmark and talk about a 1:1 deal for one of those guys.

Can we make a "what would McDavid get?" thread too?

 

[stungun54]

Bruins should consider every move possible. Forbort Grzelyk Shattenkirk Debrusk VanRemsdeik Lucic are all UFA and should be moved. Swayman if RFA but should be moved if the deal is there. This team needs to replenish draft picks. Not built to win in the playoffs so sell off assets and gamble you win a round but not looking likely. I also sell off Zach and Lindholm for the right price to a contender.

Ah yes, the classic "one of the best teams in the league should tear it down and rebuild" move...because that has happened so many times in the history of the NHL. On paper, this Bruins team doesn't stack up to some of the other top contenders this year...but Bruins fans should know from last year that the game isn't played on paper. Despite seemingly not being as talented, they continue to win night in and night out. Anything can happen in the playoffs so the Bruins are likely going to roll the dice with the team they have (especially since they have no cap space) and see if they can get on a roll in the playoffs.

Come on now. You compare Swayman to McJesus now?

Im sure the kings would give you PLD in that package too

Bruins,do not want or need that Nurse, contract.........

Mercer, Holtz, one of Schmid or Daws, what else???

(please lets save time and do not say Luke Hughes or Simon Nemec)

Beat me to it, I'd give a ton for Sway

If they trade Sway I'm setting something on fire.

McDavid will get there soon

Kinda depends on if the bruins see Mercer as a play driving 2C or a complimentary 2W long term. With Pasta on the team and Lysell as the top forward prospect, how many RW do they need?

It’s all really hard to talk about. Because the Bruins are comparing trading Ullmark vs trading Swayman and without knowing the offers for both, it’s hard to gauge.
