Sad News: Breaking” Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery Announce The Death Of His Wife And Two Kids After Plane…

It has been 17 days since free agency opened for the National Hockey League.

The Boston Bruins have had a few subtractions, but they have also made some additions.

Then there is the one aspect of the offseason that all eyes have been fixated on: the deal with goaltender Jeremy Swayman.

Going into the offseason, it was no secret that locking Swayman down on a longterm deal is exactly what the team needed and it seemed like that both sides were on the same page and they were waiting until July 1 to hit to announce a new deal with the netminder.

That day came and after five days with no announcement, the Bruins and Swayman both announced they would not be going to arbitration.

The only situation that presents itself to cause concern, is if the Bruins are blown out of the water and some team offers him a deal worth $10 million-plus.

After all, going into negotiations Swayman went in with an exceptation of $4 million after making just under $3.5 million last season, and Boston countered with $2 million.

It’s not likely that Swayman has quite shot himself in the foot by wanting just north of $600,000 more than what he was making in the 2023-24 season.

Something to keep an eye on, however, is if the Bruins attempt to low-ball him again and another team offers him what he is looking, there is a chance he can leave the organization that so coveted him.
