The ongoing contract negotiations between the Boston Bruins and goaltender Jeremy Swayman have taken a contentious turn. Bruins president Cam Neely hinted at a $64 million offer, which Swayman's agent vehemently denied, stating it was the first time such a figure was mentioned.

With Swayman's future in limbo, the Bruins are preparing to start Joonas Korpisalo for their upcoming season opener against the Florida Panthers. Swayman must sign by December 1 to participate in the 2024-25 season.
