Chang of plans: Boston Bruins set to make last minute decision with Jeremy Swayman
The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman have finally ended their stalemate on Sunday.
The goalie and the team agreed to terms of $8.25 Million AAV, over 8 years giving Swayman a contract with a total value of $66 Million.
With this stalemate, the Bruins have finished making panic moves as they waived former Canucks goalie, Jiri Patera, only to be claimed by the Vancouver Canucks once again.
But the best news of it all for Bruins fans is that Jeremy Swayman could be in the net this week.
It was stated by Jim Montgomery that Joonas Korpisalo would start opening night against the Florida Panthers. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
«Right now, he's going to be our Game 1 starter,» said Montgomery.

But this was reported on September 30th, before the dam had broken and Swayman had signed his new deal on the sixth.
No offense to Joonas Korpisalo, but the Bruins need their best foot forward in the net to win games.
The goalie to do that is Jeremy Swayman, who has stated he wants to be a Bruin long-term.
Now Don Sweeney and company have finally given fans what they wanted, Swayman in the net for 8 years, and a chance to win a cup.
Swayman had a 25-10-8 record, with a 2.53 GAA, and a .916 save percentage.
