Thread killer.

I also think back to a meeting with the veteran players, I think it was maybe after the 19-20 season (believe it was 20-21 he meant), and if my recollection is right it was Cam, it was Seth Jones, it was Werenski, it was Foligno for sure, maybe Gus Nyquist. What do we need to do here to make this thing work? You guys know what a good room is like, you've seen it. And the players, they have a hard time doing this sometimes, and you understand why, basically came back with "You gotta get Laine and Merzlikins out of here." That's steps one and two. The organization heard that and said, "You know what let's get rid of the people who said that," not the people that they mentioned. And look who all's gone."

Interesting Columbus information here.
big if true.

That's pretty wild. Wonder how Werenski feels about that being made public while he's still on the team as well. We have it bad here, I'm not so sure Columbus isn't in a very similar, or the exact same, boat.

Swayman gunna get 7-8 million?

I'd guess 9, he wants 10, Bruins are at that 7-8 range. Their issue is they already sold Ullmark, so Swayman has them over the barrel.

Thanks for this. Not too much is surprising here outside, I guess, Jackson, Gore and maybe Shavers.

Yeah, he looked good...but Sr seems to be around, helping, so I want to have that support for our young backs. Today is a good day.

What's the skinny on Virgil? I know he's young, but saw he had 5 total targets last year...so is he surprising to see on waivers? Seemed like another Isabella type WR.

As Tage said, we just need to go to the goat heads full time. Then we'll win the Cup and everyone will want to play here.

Looks like Beaner just trying to find a lottery Ticket.

Has he said he wants 10? I've not seen a number mentioned.

"Studies out of Boston are suggesting that Swayman desires a $10million consistent with yr deal from the Bruins, however with talks nonetheless ongoing the precise rate remains to be unknown."

"suggesting 10 mil"


all I have heard from him was

"“I understand the cap is going up”
“I understand my comparables”"

Heard that a couple times now, can't find the other article, but here's a quote from one:

"Jeremy Swayman, looking for $10 million a year," WEEI''s Rich Keefe said, via Audacy. "That is the scoop that I have. He is looking for $10 million a year. That would put him with Sergei Bobrovsky and Carey Price [at the top of the goalie market]."

Have to try, I was just surprised that people on Twatter are pretending he's some big get.
