Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins continue to be at odds, and there is no telling whether or not these two can find a solution.
The Bruins and Swayman have done a ton of mudslinging and it feels like there is no real solution here. However, Pierre LeBrun sees things a bit differently. While speaking to Jay Onrait on TSN, LeBrun made the case that the Bruins and Swayman will likely find a number. While some may see this as impossible, LeBrun argues that they are close enough to get there. Furthermore, there is too much at stake if both sides can't find a deal.
"I think it gets done eventually, believe it or not, despite all the drama of this week, but how the player feels about things will be interesting."
However, LeBrun did acknowledge the fact that things are looking pretty bad overall for the Bruins when it comes to its relationship with Swayman. Sure, he might end up signing, but will he respect them moving forward? This is a very important question and one that is going to be very difficult for the team to answer.
"Separate for a moment the financial resolution that needs to happen. At some point, they'll find the number, I think. But Jeremy Swayman, I think, is probably a little hurt right now. And the reparation of that relationship is now part of this thing as well. Not just the actual contract negotiations."
