How the Bruins Changed the Swayman Contract Narrative

Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

"Well, I don't want to get into the weeds with what (Jeremy Swayman's) ask is, but I know that I have 64 million reasons why I'd be playing right now.”

With that, Boston Bruins team president Cam Neely put the team's offer on the table, turning the tables on the narrative that they're not doing enough to sign their young star goaltender.

Swayman's agent, however, denies the $64M amount, and the Bruins' preseason press conference has suddenly become the talk of the National Hockey League.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down Neely's comments and the response, and asks whether a deal can still be reached or if the Bruins have alienated Swayman to the point of a trade request.

Plus, what's the plan for Fabian Lysell? And will Jim Montgomery soon be extended?

What we do know is Joonas Korpisalo will be the opening night starter.
