This marks a major problem for GM Don Sweeny and the Bruins as they only have a little over $8-million in cap space, meaning the term will have to be longer or Swayman will have to take a deal to say a Bruin.
There are only a handful of goalies that get a contract that high, and no doubt Swayman is an elite starter in the NHL but he does have limited experience being the main guy, so to demand that high of a number right away is unprecedented.
