Jeremy Swayman’s Agent Releases Statement On Contract Talks With Bruins

Boston Bruins president Cam Neely offered his assessment of the team's contract negotiations with goaltender Jeremy Swayman on Monday.

Hours later, Swayman's agent, Lewis Gross of SPM Sports, offered a statement in response to the comments from Bruins media day.

"Normally, I do not release statements or discuss negotiations through the media," Gross shared on X. "However, in this case, I feel the need to defend my client. At today's press conference, $64 million was referenced. This was the first time that number was discussed in our negotiations. Prior to the press conference, no offer was made reaching that level."

Gross continued: "We are extremely disappointed. This was not fair to Jeremy. We will take a few days to discuss where we go from here."

Swayman comes off of a season where he held down goaltending duties and the Bruins advanced to the second round of the NHL playoffs. The 25-year-old posted a 25-10-8 record with a 2.53 GAA last season.
