Report: Bruins don't have the cap space for Jeremy Swayman's contract demands
According to the Jones and Keefe podcast, they released the reason why the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are so far off on making a deal.
They said that Swayman and his agent are looking at a number way higher than disclosed before, and instead of a number in the ballpark of $8-million it was released they are looking upwards of $10-million AAV.
This marks a major problem for GM Don Sweeny and the Bruins as they only have a little over $8-million in cap space, meaning the term will have to be longer or Swayman will have to take a deal to say a Bruin.
There are only a handful of goalies that get a contract that high, and no doubt Swayman is an elite starter in the NHL but he does have limited experience being the main guy, so to demand that high of a number right away is unprecedented.
We will have to see how this turn out because he is not worth $10-million in our opinion. What do you think, does Swayman deserve a $10-miilion AAV contract?
