The contract negotiations between the Boston Bruins and goalie Jeremy Swayman have taken a contentious turn. Bruins President Cam Neely mentioned a $64 million figure, suggesting an offer of $8 million per season over eight years. However, Swayman's agent, Louis Gross, stated that this number was not previously discussed and expressed disappointment over the situation.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman speculated that Swayman might request a trade due to the discord. This has prompted interest from other teams, particularly the Los Angeles Kings, whose GM Rob Blake may explore the possibility of acquiring Swayman, despite recent roster changes.
