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.
