Insider reveals what the Boston Bruins actually offered Jeremy Swayman
An insider has revealed what the Boston Bruins actually offered restricted free agent goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
Jeremy Swayman's situation with the Boston Bruins reached a boiling point on Monday after Cam Neely, the team's President, essentially revealed that they offered the netminder a contract worth a total of $64 million.
The comments by Neely caught Swayman and his camp off guard, forcing them to release a statement saying that they will be taking the next few days to evaluate their options moving forward.
Flash forward to Tuesday and we have some new reporting from Daily Faceoff on the actual contract Jeremy Swayman was offered by the Boston Bruins.
NHL insider Frank Seravalli said this morning that a source informed him the Boston Bruins offered Jeremy Swayman an eight-year contract worth $62.4 million ($7.8 million AAV).
The next few days are going to be interesting to say the least. As of right now, because the team traded Ullmark to Ottawa back in July and Swayman is still without a contract, all signs point to Joonas Korpisalo getting the start for their first game of the season on October 8th against the Florida Panthers. It's certainly not an ideal situation and the team is hoping that they'll be able to get Swayman under contract relatively soon.
