Jeremy Swayman Contract Dispute Continues with Bruins

The contract negotiations between Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman and the team have become contentious as Swayman remains unsigned just days before the NHL season begins. Swayman, a restricted free agent, is reportedly seeking a deal worth around $9.5 million per year, while the Bruins have countered with offers ranging from $6.5 million to $7.8 million annually over eight years. The situation escalated when Bruins president Cam Neely claimed Swayman was offered a $64 million deal, a statement that Swayman's agent disputed, stating no such formal offer existed. Swayman's absence from training camp has raised concerns about the team's goaltending situation, with Joonas Korpisalo expected to start the season opener. With both sides under pressure, a resolution before the December 1 deadline remains uncertain as tensions run high. The Bruins face the risk of losing Swayman, who has been a key performer for them, particularly during the playoffs last season.
