Servalli is talking out of his ass, good for Cam, it is about time, the other side has been going public for the last year.
Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.

$7.8Million for 8 years is actually very fair for a guy that hasn't proven he's able to handle the workload of a true number 1... yet.
Source: Bruins’ actual offer to Jeremy Swayman was eight years at $7.8 million AAV
Bruins president Cam Neely hinted that the team offered Swayman an $8 million AAV contract.www.dailyfaceoff.com

Team may not be offering at every year
If I am Swayman I get my 8 year or I ask for 1 or 2 years.

If Swayman requests a trade and ends up leaving this would be one of the biggest fumbles I can remember. Going from the best tandem in the league to Korpisalo and *insert goalie here would be detrimental.

The only thing I'll believe to come out of Seravelli's mouth is him losing weight and buying 'Just for Men' har dye.
He's a free agent. He doesn't need to wait for a trade, he can sign with whoever he wants.

He's a restricted free agent. He does need to wait for a trade...

If I'm Neely, I trade him and start listening to offers right away. There should be several teams interested in upgrading their net.
Toronto
Edmonton
Colorado
Carolina
LA
If Im Colorado I do everything I can to package Georgiev + for Swayman. Getting Swayman would make the Avs much closer to being the favourites in the West.
It’s not that makes sense but they may have to. It makes sense if they’re not sold on his abilities and can’t get a deal done. Lower AAV and no NMC and they may have to. It’s also movable should he have a bad year. This could get really ugly and it’s already gotten ugly last time they had to make a deal.
I’d rather let a guy walk than I would cripple an entire team. Would you sign a 10m x 8y for an unproven starter who seems to be unhappy, in the most sketchy position? I wouldn’t. The leafs walked their guys to UFA with NMC clauses and top dollar. The middle ground would be a 2y x 6.5 or something with no NMC.

Goalies play a lot less games than forwards and defense and in Swayman's case he's never played more than 44. There's no reason for any goalie to be making 10 or 11 million unless he's going to be playing 70 games or more like they used to back in the day with Brodeur and Hasek.
Neely is BEGGING teams to offer sheet him.Again, C. Neely cant get it right.

He wants someone else to fix the mess he and Sweeney created. What a couple of inept clowns.

If im Neely, im sitting him out until he crawls back for the 8x8. This reminds me of the Le'veon Bell situation and it didn't end up well for him.

are they? the likelihood of someone offer sheeting more money than the rumored money is very, very, very low. that would be 12.5 million aav compensation territory.

Canes have a large amount of money coming off the books next year. I could see them "checking in"

If what we saw yesterday in the media is ANY indication of how the Bruins have approached this contract negotiation with their expected #1 netminder, you can call it anything you want, but I will still call it a f***ing circus for what he did. Total clown show.

Goalies are up and down. If Im Boston I would rather commit to Swayman over 4 or 5 years instead of 8. Swayman hasn't even proved yet that he can be a full-time starter. This is his first year as a full time starter. High cap 8 year deal could back fire on the Bruins if Swayman becomes the next Jim Carey. Much less risk going with 4 or 5 years.
