Who's to blame for the Jeremy Swayman contract stalemate + What we learned from Day 1 of Bruins camp

Jeremy Swayman is not in attendance as the Boston Bruins take to the ice for training camp on Thursday.
Who's the blame for this contract stalemate? Is it general manager Don Sweeney and Bruins management for not wanting to pay up? Or is it on the player for asking for too much, too soon?
Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren argues it's a bit of both.
Plus, what else we learned from Sweeney and head coach Jim Montgomery (who's also in need of a contract extension) on Day 1 of camp, including a goaltending contingency plan, how to incorporate new faces, the Tyler Johnson PTO and more.

Bruins will be fine,great defense always make the goalies look great

If swayman will not take 8mx8 he is in fact the problem

[@chrismessina3236]

He isn’t worth 8 he’s not even worth 3 million if you ask me ! He’s cocky and can’t make that big save

Did you just say Billy Madison was a great movie?

[@LockedOnBostonBruins]

Heck yes

[@GTC528]

Who's to blame? Sweeney and the Bruins. They sold Ullmark too soon. Once they sold Ullmark, Swayman knew he had Sweeney right where he wanted him. Boston will either sign Sway for something closer to what hes looking for, sign an offer sheet with someone else who either lost their #1 goalie to injury or are looking to upgrade their goaltening duo, or doesnt sign at all by December 1st, and is forced to sit out the entire season. They sold half of the best goaltening duo in the NHL. Doesnt that mean they trust Swayman to pull the whole load going forward?

[@chrismessina3236]

Swayman is ! He’s a 3.5 mil goalie nothing more ! He’s not that good

[@GTC528]

@chrismessina3236 He's ranked the #4 best goalie in the NHL right now. He's worth at least twice what he's getting right now
