Bruins GM Sweeney Optimistic Amid Swayman Contract Standoff

Despite ongoing negotiations, Sweeney believes a deal will be reached before the December 1 deadline.

Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins' top goalie, remains unsigned as training camp begins, creating uncertainty for the team's season start.
Sweeney has faced criticism for the prolonged negotiations but insists communication with Swayman's camp has been consistent.
The Bruins traded Linus Ullmark in June, heightening the urgency to secure Swayman's contract to solidify their goaltending lineup.
Swayman, coming off a strong season, seeks a significant salary increase, which has complicated negotiations.
Coach Jim Montgomery remains focused on preparing the team for the season, despite the unresolved contract situation.
