The Swayman issue is personal. Word coming out the Sweeny and the Bruins were brutal and nasty in arbitration a year ago.
Swayman has no respect for them because they showed no respect to him.
And Neely's public disclosure of what was on the table (which I believe "sources" have said hasn't actually been offered) would feed into Swayman's sentiment.
This one has the makings of a trade and sign, where the acquiring team actually pays Swayman a little bit less than what Boston offered as giant fuck off.
Or the Bs sign him and everyone forgets.

The Bruins have a history of treating younger players who they feel are getting too big for themselves with disrespect. See Thornton, Seguin, Kessel.

Jeremy Swayman signs with the Bruins. 8 x $8.25.

Of course we get first crack at Patera if and when he hits the wire.

I guess he had 66 million reasons to sign that deal.

He is going to need 2 wallets so he doesn't lean to one side.

Good deal for Swayman. Some risk signing goalies to these kinds of contracts, especially those who haven't played over 44 games in a regular season. He's got the talent, though.
He's probably a pretty good analog to Demko, but Demko's both carried more of a load and been broken by it before.
