Jeremy Swayman, Bruins reportedly $2.8 million apart in contract talks ahead of salary arbitration
Jeremy Swayman and the Bruins, reportedly $2.8 million apart in contract talks, are headed to salary arbitration unless they can settle their dollar differences prior to the start of their scheduled hearing on Sunday.
According to a report Friday by hockey insider Elliotte Friedman, the Bruins will present a $2 million offer, while Swayman, who has termed out of his entry-level contract that carried a $925,000 cap figure, will request $4.8 million.
The figures are consistent with those recently submitted by the Maple Leafs and their goalie, Ilya Samsonov, which resulted in a one-year arbitration award for $3.55 million.
