Quoting: pretzelcoatl
Swayman is 23. He will be at least 27 when the Bruins are on the upswing again. My logic doesn't apply to McAvoy and Carlo; one elite defenseman won't have half the impact of a good goalie. Look at the 2021-22 Devils, they had plenty of talent but lost upwards of 10 wins to their awful goaltending.
Blackwood going the other way is a roster move, a bad goalie will get you lottery picks and lottery picks will get you a successful rebuild. Again, see the 2021 and 2021-22 Devils.
Casey is better than every prospect the Bruins have not named Lysell, you're foolish to dismiss him as "another undersized defenseman." His upside is significantly better than third pair.
yes but casey isn't a position of need meaning he will not hold as much value to boston. Carlo and Mcavoy are our top 4 RH side for atleast the next 6 seasons (Until carlo's contract is up)
also their are many more guys that boston will sell on to loose games before swayman. Lindholm/hall/ marchand/ grzelcyk will all go before swayman
also boston went through a rebuild with rask so yes you can actually tank with a good goalie.
montreal has made PO's 3 times in the last 7 seasons while having price as their goalie
anaheim went into a rebuild with gibson during his best years
a good goalie is key to win but a big key to success for goalies is how well their defence plays infront of them
colorado is probably gonna make georgiev look like a top 15 goalie just because of how stacked their dcore is
your trade still just doesn't make any sense lol
Bruins have prided them selves on having a good goalie for a long time from thomas to rask and now to swayman he is definitely untouchable. ari wanted swayman in a chychrun trade and boston said no so highly doubt this pile will get swayman
