Reports out of Boston are ugly as Jeremy Swayman's contract talks take a major turn
The Boston Bruins negotiations with RFA goalie, Jeremy Swayman seem to have devolved. This will be disappointing to Bruins fans as they had assumed due to overtures in the media, things were going well.
But, rumors made this way around the media this week, as the Bruins made a pitch, a low-ball offer that Barstool employee, and former NHLer, Ryan Whitney posted.
Whitney mentioned that Swayman has been looking for a contract with more term and value, like an 8-year, $9.5 Million deal, totaling $76 Million.
But apparently, the most disturbing part of this all is the fact that Sweeney and the Bruins cut contact with Swayman's camp.
It's one thing when only one individual reports the situation, but when it's been confirmed by one of the league's top insiders, the situation is scary.
Additionally, it sounds like Swayman at one point did have the term he wanted, at 8 years but the pay was considerably lower than his ask.
Is Don Sweeney going to fumble Swayman?
This could be a perfect scenario to offer-sheet him for Davidson.
