It's common knowledge Swayman is a backup goaltender.

You make that deal for a proven starter that can transform a franchise, and this is not Swayman. Goaltenders are voodoo and there is way too much risk on them. I don't see any goaltender changing the fortunes of this team. They need more offense and losing a player of Lindholm's stature for another goaltending "prospect" would be a massive failure and cost anyone making that decision their job.

Right now he is. All goalies start out as backups. He’s highly regarded around the league.

In a year where Taylor Hall was essentially free, moving 2 years of Granlund's cap hit of $5M (with $11M of total salary) will not be easy, and maybe impossible.

All I can get

If Boston does move Swayman somewhere, maybe they'd be interested in giving Vladar a second go?

Well I know Vladar was popular in beantown. Fans were pissed when he was moved.

Swayman isn’t a backup, but he’s far from a future star as well.
Anyway you slice it he would be a terrible target in a Lindholm trade considering our goaltending situation.

We aren’t really. I speculated last night about it for conversation’s sake.

Boston also has RW Fabian Lysell, C Matt Poitras, D Mason Lohrei, and C Brett Harrison. I've long been a fan of 6'3"C Johnny Beecher, who has struggled to put up offense thus far in the NCAA and AHL- but he's a fantastic skater, ultra-competitive, and rugged as hell. They just drafted C Beckett Hendrickson in the 2023 Draft, who I did a write-up on, and I rather like him too. The latter 2 players are American, though....
Then there's the usual LW Jake DeBrusk, and D Brandon Carlo that are both good. I would be over the moon if they were willing to part with C Pavel Zacha, or C Trent Frederic.

I don't see the logic in dealing a prime chip like a #1C to land a goaltender as the centerpiece in the return, where that's an organizational strength even with a down year from Markstrom. Especially when you'd have to move another goaltender in a tricky trade market right now. Doesn't add up for me.
Swayman's a nice piece, but not for the Flames and the situation we're in.

I think there was only one real suggestion of Swayman to Calgary, the balance of the discussion was trading him generally.

I think Sec was just echoing dissentowner’s assertion that all is quiet right now….
