00:00But when it comes to, uh, Swayman, the fear is they were supposed to be better in front of their goaltending.
00:05And that was a debacle last night.
00:07Like the fact you're giving up shorthanded chances, Corpus Allis should stop them 100%.
00:12But the play in front of Corpus Allis was brutal.
00:15And if the play looks that way in front of, uh, uh, Swayman this year, well, then Laurie got lit up last night.
00:24Is Zdorov as good as you thought?
00:26Is McAvoy truly a Norris candidate?
00:28What the hell's going on with Hampus Lindholm?
00:30Like, that to me can also be put under a microscope.
00:33That's the more alarming thing.
00:34I'm not going to overreact to that in one game.
00:36Let's see how he looks with Swayman, uh, probably tomorrow night against Montreal.
00:40But that would be the fear is that the defense isn't good in front of the goaltender.
00:43Yeah, no, it was a rough, rough start for sure.
00:46If Swayman hadn't signed his deal yet, how much money do you think he could get?
00:52Oh, it would be panic in the streets, number one, Keith.
00:54And number two, how much could he get?
00:56Ten?
00:57I mean, if they-
00:57Ten billion, two hundred trillion, two hundred billion dollars.
01:01I mean, he might not be wrong.
01:02Ten million a year.
01:02What did you tweet?
01:03Uh, fifteen.
01:04Yeah, so that was sort of obviously just like a high joke.
01:06That sounds high, but ten?
01:07Because here are the other events of the last- we'll go here.
01:10Yeah, let's go there.
01:10The other events of the last couple hour, uh, last 24 hours are that today,
01:13Lena Zolmark got four, 8.25.
01:15Big lean, same contract.
01:17From Ottawa.
01:17Half the years, but same exact dollar amount.
01:20And Shesterkin turned down 11 per?
01:22Eight for 88.
01:23He said nah.
01:25Okay, now, Shesterkin has-
01:27He's good.
01:27He's great.
01:28Shesterkin won a Vesna?
01:29He did, right?
01:29Yes.
01:30Yeah, he did.
01:30And we know Olmark's won a Vesna.
01:31Yeah.
01:32And so you can argue those guys are in a different class, but like,
01:34let's start with the Olmark.
01:35If Olmark's getting-
01:36Olmark's not in a different class, though.
01:36Even over four years, he's getting 8.24.
01:38You can argue they- just because they won a Vesna.
01:40Oh, the Vesna, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41But I think any Bruins fan would tell you-
01:42Right, right, right.
01:43Swayman's greater than Olmark.
01:44And the Swayman deal all of a sudden looks pretty good.
01:45Team-
01:46My stance in the immediate aftermath was Swayman won the negotiation.
01:49And I-
01:49Yeah.
01:50I think he did.
01:50I think he broke the team more than the other way around, but
01:53I also think he left money on the ta-
01:55I think he won the-
01:56Anything north of 8, I think he won the negotiation.
01:58But if he just held out a little longer, he could've got more.
02:01I think that's now clear.
02:02I think if Cam Neely is slamming the table at 64,
02:05and then no real event happens after that,
02:08and they give him 66,
02:10if they watch Corpozalo for a game,
02:12or dare I say, a week,
02:14he's getting like 90 million bucks?
02:16Yeah.
02:16He probably would've been-
02:17Like, they would've been like,
02:17we are now desperate to have you back.
02:19Yeah, so if you're-
02:20I mean, Swayman's gotta be like,
02:21aw, man.
02:22Well, do you think-
02:23I was so patient.
02:23Well, hang on.
02:24But what do you think actually happened?
02:25Do you think Swayman caved, or do you think his agent ca-
02:27Like, I wonder if-
02:27Swayman.
02:28So that's what I-
02:29I don't think his agent did.
02:30I bet his agent's pissed at him right now.
