Igor Shesterkin's situation just went from bad to worse following recent report
The Boston Bruins are in a stalemate with their #1 goalie, Jeremy Swayman, and GM Chris Drury needs to take notes.
As months of negotiations could be construed to be coming to an end, Bruins President Cam Neely, aired their dirty laundry for all of us to hear.
Much to the dismay of Agent Lewis Gross, and Jeremy Swayman.
Those words have turned the interaction toxic, and have put the Bruins and Swayman's relationship in question.
Could Swayman have a future in Boston?
Gross countered the notion that Neely and Sweeney had placed a $64 Million dollar contract on the table.
The private negotiation has been handled poorly and has gone public. An unbecoming look for the Boston Bruins organization.
Something GM Chris Drury should take note of, maintain professionalism, and keep negotiations behind the scenes.
As it stands now, GM Chris Drury and Igor Shesterkin have been tight-lipped about their contract discussions, and it should remain so.
Shesterkin wants to remain a Ranger, while GM Chris Drury stated he's in their long-term plans.
You cannot negotiate in public, and be as careless as your original-six brethren, like Jeremy Jacobs, Don Sweeney, and Cam Neely.
Respect your top goalie's privacy.
Shesterkin in 2023-2024 played 55 games, with a 36-17-2 record, 2.56 GAA, and a .913 save percentage.
