1. We got some MORE RFA coverage coming for y'all! What are YOUR thoughts on Swayman wanting 10M? Robertson requesting a trade? Raymond deal not being close & more? I'd LOVE to know YOUR thoughts! #GravGang #RoadTo80kSUBS

2. If sway is really asking for that much, I’d trade him.

3. Korpisalo is ready to take the net if Swayman cant sign in time. Have fun Boston lol still dont understand why Boston traded Ullmark to sign Swayman but only shed 1mil cap space in that trade really strange in the moment and with Swayman's ask that high seems so silly

4. Hear me out nick Robertson should go to Dallas

5. If those Jarvis reports are true thats fantastic value. Love how he plays the game and the style he provides the Canes with

6. If the canes don’t sign my glorious king Seth Jarvis I’ll crash out

7. I would try to see if they could get Swaymans camp to come down to at least 9 million because 10 million is pretty steep they probably want him somewhere in the 8 mil area . Mercer probably will get a bridge deal because Jersey knows Nemec and Hughes will be coming up soon because puckpedia is saying the devils have a little bit below 5mil in cap space to work with

8. Eiserman is horrible with signing contracts. He is doing them like the year is 1990

9. Thank God Beniers was signed!

10. It's miracle why Korpisalo is even in NHL anymore.

11. Robertson sees his brother dominating in Dallas and thinks he is capable as well and will not get that opportunity in toronto

12. If theyre saying 10 mil for Swayman its because they want 8-8.5 but Boston is lowballing him

13. Id sit him all season if he wants that money

14. Yzerman really fucked up in the last 2 years.. i hope he sees it. They wont get a cup in the next 7 years

15. I missed perfetti or did he missed him?

16. Wings suck

17. i wanted my habs sign swayman but 10 mil nah forget that dont want another high payed goalie

18. someone needs to check on swayman agent holy shit 10 milion per year for a goalie that barely beat a non playoff team maple leafs is crazy just cause u won against them doesnt mean ur worth a lot hes not even carey price so if some team wants him they will have to giveway like 3-4 good stuff just to get this guy…

19. Swayman deserves 9.5 million p/yr if not he gone

20. Robertson isn't even a top 10 rfa with 11 rfas left

21. I really don't understand the buzz around the Wings is, their only legit top line player is DeBrinkat, and their top prospects look like middle 6 talent

22. Eh don’t know about the take on Robertson and beniers. Beniers had an awful year and you’re okay with him making 7 million and nick Robertson had a similar ppg last year and people are acting like he’s playing awful for 850k

23. Lucas just sign an 8X8 and let’s go chill with Patty

24. Someone should offersheet Swayman to 9.15 mil aav

25. Too bad Keefe was too concerned about tarnishing his coaching record instead of giving Robertson the proper runway to develop. His finishing ability is elite, and they blew it

26. How does one fail to sign Swayman? That’s impressive.

27. Until the bruins re-sign swayman, or get a CRAZY trade in return for him, i will no longer be a bruins fan until Don Sweeney hands in his resignation!! Just terrible decision after terrible decision from him(outside of the coyle and lindholm trades imo), i couldnt imagine the position we'd be in if it wasn't for bergy, marchy and pasta sticking around over the years, especially after the failed 2014 draft

28. Boston completely blundered the Swayman negotiations. They went from negotiating with a 1b goalie (3-5M range) to a starter (7-10M). He also has the potential to Campbell out, if he can't handle the extra work load.

29. I think goaltenders are way too volatile to be asking sums like 10 million. Personally, I don' think there's a single goalie in the league worth that much.

30. Is AAV value sort of like PIN number or ATM machine?

31. my insider knowledge says the reason stevie y traded wahlman to the sharks with a 2nd rather than just waiving them is so grier wouldn't offer sheet seider.

    insider knowledge is something i just made up in my head.

32. Why was Robertson born on 9/11

33. What website are you using is it looks like CapFriendly

34. Good for Nick- Id leave too. Now they need him so the courtship starts? Feck off- lol!! Sure he can earn tip six…. with no pp time… and look forward to a demotion the whole time the next time the leafs draft a skill player. Lol no thanks!!

    He DOES need to fight and
    compete but hed ve better served putting that work in on a new team that appreciates him…

35. I'm confident that Ray and Mo are just waiting til they return to the states to make their signing official so not at all concerned .

36. Look what Korp did in LA with a good team around him

37. Daniel sprong still hasn’t been resigned

38. …right back to the question: how much to spend on the goalie position? Is that not the same logic that was used to send Linus to OTT? If ya could get it done with Bussi and Korpi, would ya? (OTT fans must love that one, BUT…goalies improve in the BOS system. Linus won a Vezina!) Methinks the best solution is a decent goalie tandem where one gets hot in the playoffs. Swayman was not THE answer over the past two seasons. He was good, but not Tim Thomas. And at $10M, which costs them a good forward, that's not good enough. How good would Swayman be in OTT or Anaheim? Check ALL of his stats. The Hockey Guy did recently. Consider finding that video and watching it.

39. Thank you for doing all these videos ..

40. You clearly haven't seen a second of Mackenzie Blackwood last season (fist of all you think Vanecek will be the starter). Dude played unreal for the worst team and defence of the modern era. I doubt even Igor would have much better stats on that team.

41. Why do the Leafs want Robertson, he's garbage in the bottom six and he's hyper fringe in the top six.

    He can't crack a playoff lineup because he's beyond awful defensively, he's just a goal suck and he's not even mid at it.

42. Knowing the Leafs they’re probably overvaluing Robertson’s value which is keeping him here.

43. I'm so happy the Sens got rid of Korpi and picked up Ullmark. Even if Ullmark doesn't re-sign it's a win for the Sens to dump Korpi (yes, even with retaining $1M per year on Korpi's contract). Thanks Boston!
