If he's $5M per/ 5-yrs term ($25M tot) they'd likely do it no prob.
>$6M etc. etc - he walks...

However, Swayman is another player needing to be resigned, and i feel he is getting 4 or 5 Million too, Not to mention the Bruins need a 1st line center too

Yes they can both get the $5M & term (for example UFAs out Griz/Forbort = minus - $6M)...
Coyle+Zacha this season had more points than Bergy+Kreji did last year; if it aint broke, dont fix it!

Coyle is old and i still don't feel Zacha is a 1C

Edit: Coyle and Zacha are good

Seems to be twirling around good enough last night!
BOS aren't going to win a track meet in the playoffs - they 'team you' to death not "coupla-skill guys" to victory.

2024-25 BOS (today)
Top-9 = solid
Top-3 = solid
Pipes = solid
Bench = solid
no issues!

I take back what i said, Zacha is good enough, But coyle is aging still

32!
Coyle = 82Games_25G_35A_60Pts

How old is "Sid Crusty"?
ahhhh, he's still OK!
LOL

Frederic has the same 5 on 5 stat line as Crouse over the last season and more 5 on 5 goals than DeBrincat, Marchand, Jarvis, Barkov and Batherson over those two seasons, too. From the 3rd line. With positional flexibility and size. Why exactly is Boston moving him?

The OP was what's his value to PIT (hypothetical) - I basically said RUST!!
capiche...

Swayman will be getting closer to 7 AAV.

Go do a quick Boston roster. They have way more money than they will know what to do with with the 4.5 in Bergeron/Krejci penalties gone, the 4 million increase everyone is getting, and the 6.8 in expiring contracts for Gryz/Forbort who have already been replaced in the lineup. They could give Swayman his raise, bring back DeBrusk and still swing for a 9-10m dollar guy if they move Ullmark.
