Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.

The good news for the Bs (and the bad news for Swayman's camp) is it's not like there is a great trade partner out there. Any team needs to 1- absorb a $7M+ cap hit for a goalie 2- be a contender 3- have a young goalie they can send back to fill the hole left by trading him. I also doubt Boston wants to trade him in-conference, limiting possible trade partners even more. Guessing he stays a Bruin.
I wouldn't be concerned yet because camp is still about 3 weeks away but if he's not signed by training camp that's when you get concerned

That's a key part imo.
Given Montreal's interest in Askarov I could see them being interested in Swayman should be available.
But he isn't, so it ends there.

But also the Bruins traded Ullmark and are kind of screwed. Who is their guy? Korpi? lol

Bruins should have probably wrapped this up earlier in the summer in coordinated time with the Ullmark trades.

...will be watching Jeremy win the Vezina by winning 50 games and beat the all time record of 48 (Holtby and Brodeur) and set a new standard. That, my friend, would be good news.

Hope he squeezes the B's for as much as possible 
Also, the sky is usually blue.
I think all of us Bruins fans figured this out already, but none of us are overly concerned.

Not worried and likely a questionable source.

Bruins are finished if they don't get a deal done with him. No Ullmark safety net, and he's probably their best player. Don't think they can afford a holdout or trade.

Really wonder who is balking at what on the length. Youd think the Bruins would want this done for 7-8 years. My guess is Bruins are offering money and length and Swayman wants money and short term to cash in again.

There is no rush to sign him, they can start Korpisalo.

Bruins will match anything shy of the 4-first rounder compensation level and Swayman. There's no real threat of an offer sheeting here.

Here's what I assume happened
Sweeney and Swayman's agent had the framework of an extension worked out before the draft and shook on it, saying they'd hammer out the details later. That gave Sweeney assurance to trade Ullmark before the draft and make the moves in free agency he did. Then afterwards he circled back and Swayman & his agent go SIKE, now that you don't have Ullmark we have all the leverage and the ask on years and/or AAV went up.
