Boston Bruins' Cam Neely reveals the latest news for Jeremy Swayman's future as contract negotiations stall
After contract negotiations with goaltender Jeremy Swayman stalled, Boston Bruins president Cam Neely shared he has no doubts about both parties reaching an agreement.
With little else going on with the NHL after the end of the Stanley Cup Finals, few hockey fans are not 'in the know' about the Boston Bruins' current goaltending fiasco. After spending time with two serious goalies in tandem, management was forced into their own version of "Sophie's Choice," ultimately parting ways with Linus Ullmark, sending him to the Ottawa Senators for Mark Kastelic, Joonas Korpisalo 25% retained, and the 25th pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, used to select Dean Letourneau.

Though Cam Neely is confident Jeremy Swayman will return, when the president of a hockey team says something, there is always going to be the PR aspect involved. Hopefully, he is truthful and not ignorant on the matter in front of him. Otherwise, there could be more trouble ahead for the Boston Bruins.
