    No goalie is worth that much.

    My view is this.

    Mercer is expected to get 6 mill or so on an 8 year deal as a 1st time RFA (Team has more leverage)

    Swayman is expected to get less than 7 mill on an 8 year RFA deal post arbitration (Player has more leverage)

    Based on teams putting their money where their mouth is, the gap in value isn't that wide.

    Would boston match an 8.4x5 offer sheet for example?

    I'd offer 3 1sts for him or equivalent assets. Would be the highest price paid for a goalie of all time

    That’s ridiculous. Anybody who thinks Ullmark or Swayman will maintain their play & stats other next Team after leaving BOS is crazy

    I would never pay that many assets for a Goalie either. Better to just sign one via Free Agency, especially if it’ll be for Big Bucks in which case you just need to be the Highest Bidder and can keep your assets

    Their GsAx suggests that it is more about them than the Boston defense, but this article is the type of click bait where the first deal is too much and the second deal is not enough.

    An Ullmark to NJ deal makes a ton of sense if Boston can parlay that pick into a good pending free agent
