Earlier than Boston Bruins President Cam Neely announced that the team offered Jeremy Swayman a $64 million contract (that’s $8 million over eight years), Dave Pagnotta of the Fourth Interval joined Gord Stellick and Scott Laughlin on Sirius XM NHL Community Radio Morning Skate.

Gord Stellick: “Making an attempt to recollect when the final participant signed, how a lot into the common season. We keep in mind William Nylander, who went to the eleventh hour so a few years in the past. We’re form of questioning if Jeremy Swayman may do this. What’s your sense there in Boston?”
Dave Pagnotta: “Nicely, , going into the weekend, it didn’t sound nice. It didn’t sound like they had been, , bridging any of their gaps or making an attempt to get nearer. Nicely, clearly they’re making an attempt, however simply not having the ability to get there.”
I believe Nylander went into December. Right me, if I’m fallacious guys, however I believe it was round December.”
Stellick: “Yeah.”
Who has more leverage: Jeremy Swayman or the Boston Bruins?
Pagnotta: “Yeah, so I don’t assume , clearly you’ve obtained that particular timeline, or, I ought to say deadline, with respect to enjoying the remainder of the season. I don’t assume that’s the plan. I believe we’re nonetheless a couple of week away wit the common season on our aspect of the pond beginning on October eighth.
Clearly you guys talked about Buffalo and Jersey getting entering into Prague on Friday. You’re form of trying in the direction of the start of the common season, from Boston’s perspective, as extra of a deadline to take a look at. The road of communication are open. It’s not like anybody’s hung up the telephone and stated, You realize what? Don’t speak to me for a number of days. I don’t need to hear from you.
They’re clearly making an attempt to work this out, however the monetary hole remains to be a little bit of a conundrum for them. And on the identical time, what’s taking place in New York with Igor Shesterkin and the New York Rangers, at any time when that comes into play, and Swayman just isn’t signed, that will additionally issue into these negotiations to see the place he finally ends up.
I believe everyone understands and is aware of that Shesterkin goes to be the very best paid goaltender in NHL historical past by way of AAV above the $10.5 million that Carey Price nonetheless owns. When that quantity finally is available in on an eight-year extension, how is that going to have an effect on Swayman and his deal?

As a result of he needs a long run deal as nicely, and that’s what they’ve been centered on so nicely. That’s going to think about, in some vogue, in the event that they’re in a position to get one thing accomplished by the beginning of the common season.
The Rangers and Shesterkin, that’ll definitely think about to Swayman’s discussions. However going into the weekend, guys, it was nonetheless slightly bit dicey whether or not or not to have the ability to get one thing accomplished over the subsequent week.”
