The fans of the Boston Bruins can finally rejoice, as the stalemate ended on Sunday, October 6th.

Swayman and Agent Lewis Gross were brought to the table and promptly signed their starting goalie before the beginning of the season.

This led to a months-long negotiation that stalled until Cam Neely let a figure drop in the media, which brought us here.

Instead of $64 Million being the final figure of Swayman's new deal, the goalie and the team settled on a $8.25 Million AAV deal, with a total value of $66 Million.

Swayman would later address fans through social media accounts via the Bruins organization.

"Hey fans, Sway here," began Swayman. "So excited to be back, cannot thank all of you for all the support throughout the entire process but we've got a lot of new beginnings to start and I cannot wait to get going."

Many members of the Bruins fanbase called for Swayman to be traded while the negotiations appeared to be halted. Others called for him to be sat during the season and the length of the stalemate persisted.

As you can see in the video, Swayman seems restrained before smiling while addressing the Bruins fans with the new contract signing.

Do you think Jeremy Swayman should have been traded or sat due to his choice to continue to negotiate instead of practicing with the team?

Who would you have replaced him with? It seems Jiri Patera or Joonas Korpisalo couldn't handle the workload that Swayman has had in the past with the team.
