<p>While there has been plenty of dialogue in the public forum over the last 24 hours, we have an idea of what the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/boston-bruins/line-combinations">Boston Bruins</a> have offered RFA goaltender Jeremy Swayman.</p>



<p>According to <em>Daily Faceoff</em> insider Frank Seravalli, the Bruins proposed an eight-year contract to the young netminder, with an AAV of $7.8 million.</p>



<p>The offer is different from what <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">team president Cam Neely hinted at. During his media availability on Monday, the longtime Bruin hinted that Boston offered Swayman an eight-year contract worth $64 million. However, just hours later, Swayman’s agent,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/jeremy-swaymans-agent-denies-player-was-offered-64m-contract" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lewis Gross, released a statement</a>&nbsp;saying that was never offered to his client</span> and that he and Swayman “will take a few days” to figure out their next steps.</p>



<p>Seravalli joined <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIMLTZZFxSY&amp;ab_channel=DailyFaceoff">Morning Cuppa Hockey</a> on Tuesday to discuss the reported offer and how the two sides reached this point.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="139"></div>



<p><strong>Frank Seravalli:</strong> [Swayman and Gross] are very disappointed in what Neely said. I think if you look at it from both sides’ perspectives…this really seemed like a tactical error by the Bruins. This felt like a team that was cracking under the weight of probably not having their future No. 1 in net to start the season…My understanding is that the Bruins have offered eight years x $7.8 million, which is $62.4 [million]. So, maybe Cam Neely had a bit of fun with numbers…$1.6 million is where they were off.</p>



<p>I think the Swayman camp has been asking for eight [years] x $8.5 million, which is $68 million, and the Bruins were somewhere close to $6.5 [million]. So, the Bruins have gone from $6.5 [million] to $7.8 [million], they feel like they’ve moved a lot…They probably think, “Hey, we’ve moved a ton, now it’s your turn,” and the fact that hasn’t happened apparently has them frustrated.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="156"></div>
