This.Odd. Or Swayman had no choice but to lower his demand.
Bruins were always willing to end around 8x8.
Franchise goalie of the future. He needs to keep his feelings a little more private going forward, this negotiation took a dramatic turn in the end.
8x8 or near it was always the fair value range.
I don’t see how the Bruins were backed into a corner here. Swayman’s camp had to come way down from what they were rumored to be asking. The Bruins could have made him wait all year if they wanted to. Of course, they’re better off with Swayman though.
