Sujet: Would ARI move him
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I think the issue starts becoming how much does Boston want to take away from their team to get a guy who, while clearly having some big upside, hasn't shown he's a clear-cut 1C on a contender? Moving Swayman means your tandem is Linus Ullmark and uhhh Brandon Bussi? Michael DiPietro? I wouldn't want to do that - part of the reason Ullmark seemed to succeed so much last year was specifically because the Bruins were able to keep him rested because they had a very good 1B. I don't know if you get the same Ullmark if he's working 60-65 games next season.

Similar thoughts with Carlo - trading him means that you're now pushing 34-year-old Kevin Shattenkirk into a top-4 role, and that one of Alec Regula/Ian Mitchell/Reilly Walsh is going to be playing every night at RD3.

That's why I don't think it lines up - sure, in theory, Boston has the assets that could get him, but do they actually *want* to give those assets up?</div></div>

Depends on prices for UFA’s, BOS needs to do something this year or next, there’s nothing coming in the pipeline and they’re going to end up overpaying $$$ wise during FA next off season. And if the ask is Swayman for Schiefel or Carlo for Lindholm, I would think they would rather use one of those pieces on a younger center, even if he is unproven. And if lindholm ends up off the market I would rather make another hole to address in the off-season then sign Sphyilis to an overpaid and/or too long of a contract. Not saying he isn’t good, but he is 30 and probably wants 6 year or longer deal.

And IMO it shouldn’t cost either of those player to get a Sphyilis out of WPG or Lindholm out of CGY but hard saying right now I guess. I can see BOS starting the season with what they got and see how it goes but going to have to do something eventually and I would rather spend assets on a younger C that will last the entire time Pasta and McAvoy are here
