The contentious contract talks between the Bruins and Jeremy Swayman’s camp might have hit a critical boiling point.
With a little over a week before the start of the regular season on Oct. 8. Swayman is still without a contract.
Even if the 25-year-old goalie puts pen to paper on a new deal in the next few days, he might not have the necessary runway to be cleared for Game-1 reps against the Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.
At this point, Swayman missing Game 1 of 82 might be the best-case scenario given the current state of these stagnant talks.
