Boston Bruins may let Jeremy Swayman walk if he wants more then this offer
The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman have appeared to reach a stalemate in negotiations this week.
Although it's been reported that the goalie and the team WILL get a deal done, it's coming slower than we all expected.
And honestly, given how long Don Sweeney has been a GM In the NHL, shouldn't he have expected it?
But after last year's arbitration troubles, it appears to left Swayman distraught and instead decided to forego a third party again.
Why? He heard things he never thought he would during the process, and apparently, now we're here.
It seems he thought the Bruins would negotiate in good faith, but according to Paul Bissonnette, they could let him walk if he doesn't take the term of 8x$8.5 Million, which would give him term.
However, as Swayman wants to be one of the highest-paid NHL goalies, would this be a point for Swayman to walk away from the club?
Given he is the starting goalie in Boston, you'd think Sweeney would move heaven and earth to accommodate your top goalie, after trading the Vezina Trophy-winning goalie.
Is he willing to risk a Brandon Bussi call-up and let Sway walk?
We'll find out in this week's Boston Bruins goalie drama.
In 2023-2024 Swayman was awarded a $3.475 Million dollar contract and outplayed it with ease.
