Jeremy Swayman's ongoing contract negotiations with the Boston Bruins remain a major point of concern. The 25-year-old goaltender is reportedly seeking a long-term deal worth around $8 million per year. The Bruins, however, are hesitant to meet these demands due to his limited experience as a full-time starter. With the season approaching, there’s speculation that Swayman could hold out or potentially be traded if an agreement isn't reached soon, leaving the Bruins' goaltending situation in question.
