Heartbreaking The Boston Bruins key player “Jeremy Swayman” and his families involved in auto crash minutes ago.

The Boston Bruins are set to kick off their regular season against the Florida Panthers next Tuesday, and restricted free-agent goalie Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned.

That feels unlikely to change in the immediate future.

If anything, the disconnect between Swayman and Boston may be growing.

President of hockey operations Cam Neely made a blunt statement about the netminder’s holdout on Monday, which likely didn’t sit well with the 25-year-old.

Swayman’s agent, Lewis Gross, was quick to respond publicly, denying that a $64 million offer was ever formally made.

“At today’s press conference, $64 million was referenced.,” he posted on social media.

“This was the first time that number was discussed in our negotiations.

Prior to the press conference, no offer was made reaching that level.

According to Daily Faceoff insider Frank Seravalli, the $64 million figure is believed to indeed be inaccurate.

“My understanding is that the Bruins have offered eight years times $7.8 million, which is $62.4 [million],” Seravalli told Morning Cuppa Hockey.

“…I think the Swayman camp has been asking for something in the neighborhood of eight times $8.5 million,”

If Seravalli is correct, the gap between Boston’s offer and Swayman’s ask isn’t massive.

However, it does exist, and the goalie’s camp may be unwilling to compromise after Neely’s decision to make numbers public.

A trade request could also ensue, though Gross didn’t go that far in his statement.
