The Bruins currently have only $8.6 Million in cap space available, and they may need to make a trade to be able to sign him.
With Linus Ullmark being traded to Ottawa, and Joonas Korpisalo being next in line for the Bruins, GM Don Sweeney can't seriously be pushing this hard against his own goalie.
The Bruins could end up losing Swayman if he fails to sign him and could receive draft capital in return, should another team offer-sheet the goalie.
It's been said his next contract could be upwards of $9 Million AAV, but for now, we twiddle our thumbs and wait impatiently.
