Swayman Looking for Much Bigger Contract Than Bruins Lowball Offering

For weeks rumors have been surfacing in regards to Jeremy Swayman and the fact that the Bruins haven't made efforts to look up there star. Swayman has shown that even with a small sample size of experience that he is more than capable of preforming at a Vezina caliber pace.

Ryan Whitney revealed on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast that the Boston Bruins have offered goaltender Jeremy Swayman a contract of four years at $6.2 million per season. According to Whitney, Swayman's camp is seeking a much larger deal-closer to eight years at $9.5 million annually, totaling $76 million.

This report was backed up by Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast. He talked about Whitney's report and said,

He also noted that he'd heard the Bruins offered an eight-year deal but in the sixes. They are a ways apart, said the NHL insider.

To make matters worse, Whitney also raised concerns about the lack of communication between Swayman and the Bruins.

It's not clear if it's because of the offers or if the relationship is now strained because the Bruins have been lowballing their goaltender. One thing is certain, Boston needs to look up there starter before this gets any uglier.
