Ty Anderson: Bruins make first jump into 'PTO' game

so latest on swayman is sweeney wants to give him a bridge deal? 22 for four years, total insult of an offer if true.

I heard on Chiclets the offer is McAvoy's money on a short term like you said. I also don't think he should be getting 10 Mil per either. I think 8x8 like I've been saying the whole time gets it done.

This. Dont like the idea of a short term deal. Runs the risk of another DeBrusk situation where he will just test the market.

If he continues and builds upon his play, then it's a bargain. From the Bruins standpoint this should be a no brainer. If Swayman turns it down, then good luck. He's a an RFA, and the team still has the leverage for now.

Don't remember how this works. I know that if he isn't signed by December ??, he can't play this season but does he then become an UFA for next season?

Team has leverage now. When Sway is a UFA it will be a different story. Would rather them hammer out the long term deal.

I believe you are correct. Although I'm not 100% sure.

I think it is something like that. I can' remember the last time this actually happened.

they're treating swayman worse than how Sinden treated Ray Bourque. If they are really offering hime 24 for 4 years as Dupont reported, (in Sweeneys mind a huge raise from the 3.7 per he made last year) I wouldnt blame Swayman for sitting. Even a bridge deal is gonna cost between 7-8 mil. I also wouldnt blame him for not wanting the 8 for 8 deal, he'll be grossly underpaid at the end of it.
