Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins are still in negotiations for a new contract that could significantly impact the goaltender market for years. However, the talks haven’t been smooth. The Bruins are aiming to offer Swayman about $6 million per year, while he is seeking $10 million. The two sides appear to be quite far apart on both the contract length and salary.
There’s speculation that the Bruins might need to trade Swayman, but Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts believes that’s not an option. Although he hasn’t talked to Bruins GM Don Sweeney recently, Friedman feels confident the team doesn’t want to part with their franchise goalie.
For Bruins fans, this is positive news, but the lack of progress is concerning. Swayman is currently absent from training camp and has no plans to attend until a deal is reached. This situation could create a challenging period for the Bruins and their dedicated fanbase.
