The Boston Bruins are gearing up for training camp, but one key player is notably absent. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman will not take the ice until a new contract is in place. General Manager Don Sweeney expressed disappointment but remains optimistic that a deal will be reached before the December 1 deadline. Swayman’s absence could have detrimental effects on both the player and the team, as valuable camp reps are missed and the Bruins are left with a depleted goalie depth chart.
Negotiations between Swayman and the Bruins have been ongoing, with reports indicating challenges in reaching an agreement on terms and salary. Despite rumors and speculation, Sweeney emphasized that inaccurate reports have clouded the negotiation process. The Bruins are hopeful that a resolution will be reached before the season begins.
As the standoff continues, the Bruins are preparing for the upcoming season without Swayman on the roster. The young goaltender’s absence raises concerns about the team’s goaltending situation, with Joonas Korpisalo and Brandon Bussi taking the lead in his absence. The Bruins are determined to find common ground with Swayman and are committed to bringing him back before the December deadline to ensure a strong team for the upcoming season.
