Jeremy Swayman reportedly receives disrespectful contract offer from the Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have had some huge decisions to make this summer, and when they made the call to trade Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators, it became clear that Jeremy Swayman was their starter of the future. However, the team is yet to lock him down on a long-term deal, and after arbitration hearings a year ago, there is potentially some hard feelings between the two parties still to this day.

Whether that's a reason behind the lack of movement or not is uncertain, but according to Ryan Whitney on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, the Bruins haven't come to the table with an acceptable offer as of yet, with their latest offer being incredibly disrespectful.

While $6.2 million a year over the next four years isn't a dreadful deal, for a player that tallied a .916 save percentage and a 2.53 GAA a year ago, while improving in the two Stanley Cup Playoff series they played in, it's well below where it should be. That deal would leave Swayman over $4 million per year under the likes of Sergei Bobrovsky, while being $2 million behind Juuse Saros, and while he isn't quite on their level yet, he's definitely not that far behind.

Beyond the initial comments, Whitney also revealed that the Bruins haven't replied to Swayman or his representatives for around three weeks now, and with the season just over six weeks away from beginning, they'll desperately need to get a deal done very soon.
