There is troubling news surfacing about Jeremy Swayman's regular season availability with the Boston Bruins.

There was news that leaked yesterday that revealed Jeremy Swayman's asking price for his next contract with the Bruins. The reports stated that Swayman was looking for an AAV of $10 Million, which would make him one of the highest-paid goalies in the league.

This isn't doable for the Bruins right now and there has been no deal reached. But Swayman is looking for his biggest payday in the NHL yet, there's no guarantee this could be resolved before the start of training camp.

This is a year after going through the horror story of Arbitration, something he'd never wish upon his friends or teammates.

Now I'm here today and I am a Boston Bruin - I couldn't be happier. There's no ill will on the process, because I understand that. I'm not the first player to go through it. I'm not the last. But I definitely don't wish it upon any of my friends and teammates moving forward and I don't want to do it ever again as well. So grateful I went through it. Glad I got it done. I'm a Boston Bruin at the end of the day

He decided not to file for arbitration this season, and follow through negotiations with his agent, to get paid what he's worth. But one fan has pointed out, how his agent, Lewis Gross uses hold-outs as a negotiation tactic, could this be another case of Gross utilizing it again?

Bruins fans and faithful are hopeful that Swayman and his agent can come to a deal before training camp. After trading Linus Ullmark, the net looks a lot less deep.
