Description

Swayman went through arbitration last summer…and team and player were quite far apart. Swayman was asking for $4.8 million while Boston was offering $2.0 million (arbitrator awarded $3.475 million). After it was announced Swayman said, “I definitely don't wish it upon any of my friends or teammates moving forward, and I don't want to do it ever again, as well.”

Historically, 80% of players who endure that process find themselves on new teams in next two years.

And while many expect him to sign, they also expected him to sign extension when his window opened in January. Elliotte Friedman said in late December, “On the 1st, there are some free agents who can sign. Players who sign one-year deals can sign, and I think there’s going to be some interesting ones coming out of this. I’m really curious to see. …like Jeremy Swayman is one. That’s one that I’ve kind of wondered about.”

Emily Kaplan reported in early January, “Swayman was eligible for an extension on Jan. 1, and a few people have told me to expect that to get done soon." His agent, Lewis Gross, went to Boston the first week of January to hammer out an extension with Bruins front office. But they were unsuccessful.

Swayman’s next public public comments after the renegotiation started were rather negative. After being asked about getting named to All-Star Game, he said, “After dealing with what I did this summer with arbitration, hearing things that a player should never hear, it feels pretty special to be in this situation. So, I’m extremely honored and I’m really excited to join Pasta and Monty. I think it was a great learning experience. I’m not gonna lean on it. It’s already happened — what’s happened has happened.”

In March, Friedman wrote, The reason you’re hearing Linus Ullmark’s name is the calendar will force Boston to make a decision. They’ve begun discussing an extension with Jeremy Swayman and Brandon Bussi soon requires waivers. Something’s going to have to give.“

Chances are the B’s extend Swayman, but until he puts pen to paper, he should be the guy Devils ask about.

Trades

NJD

Swayman, Jeremy [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

The comp would be the 2013 trade for Cory Schneider. Lou Lamoriello, Devils GM, gave up the 9th overall pick to Vancouver at the draft (it was announced when NJD puck came up at draft, which was being held in New Jersey, although the two sides had agreed to swap the night before).

While many expected Vancouver to break up the Luongo/Schneider tandem, few expected it to be Schneider. Most thought it would be Luongo, who Vancouver had been trying to trade since the previous deadline, but were unsuccessful.

BOS

2024 1st round pick (NJD)

Additional Details:

Over the three previous seasons, Schneider had led the NHL in save percentage and goals-against-average. By 2012-13, he had firmly established himself as Vancouver’s starter. And like Swayman and Ullmark, the Canucks duo were former Jennings trophy recipients. Schneider had two years on his deal. Swayman is RFA.

Boston declines. Sure you can use Schneider is a comp. However Boston has zero interest in trading him.

If Boston moves sway and most people don't think so I don't see it for futures even that one that is going to be a pretty good pick most likely. Id think mercer is probably a big part of that deal.

I'll drive Mercer to Boston myself if they want a package built around him
