Carey Price hurts the Boston Bruins and we have the details
We never wish misfortune on other teams, but when a long-standing rival like the Bruins is in trouble, we won't shed any tears for them.
It's surprising that Boston remains at the top of the NHL, despite the significant departures of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. The young players have stepped up, and it's to their credit.
However, the situation could drastically change this season, as their star goalie Jeremy Swayman is asking for a hefty salary. In fact, his salary demands are directly related to those of Carey Price and Sergei Bobrovsky, putting the Bruins in a tough spot.
Boston has just over $8 million in cap space, which would require them to make a trade to sign their goalie.
With already thin depth, this could have significant repercussions. Recall that Linus Ullmark was traded just minutes before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in Ottawa.
Carey Price's contract hurts the Bruins
Indeed, even though Carey Price signed his contract several years ago and Sergei Bobrovsky did as well, Jeremy Swayman is asking for the same amount, and honestly, he deserves it.
Could this be the end of the salary structure in Boston? Remember that Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron took smaller amounts to remain competitive.
Their decision to part ways with Linus Ullmark has given Jeremy Swayman all the bargaining power, which isn't necessarily good for them, especially as he starts to voice his displeasure on the radio.
Details will follow, but the Bruins simply cannot afford to let him go.
