Boston isn't trading Swayman

Don't forget about the Bonuses.

then goodye nosek ig

k tell me how they would free up the money to resign him then!

Right now you show $1 million in cap space and Mittelstadt is a $2.5 million cap hit. That's $3.5 million, which is likely what Swayman gets on a 2yr bridge deal.

Haven't even touched on Pasta likely being $1 million less and nit bringing back Foligno or Clifton (another $2.2 million)

Hawks probably accept

Buffalo may be more interested doing the Forbort trade, than the Mittelstadt deal.
Casey has played well since Jost was put on the same line,
Buffalo could use more NHL defensive depth while acquiring picks in the process.
