Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins are currently in the midst of a pretty contentious contract negotiation and fans are beginning to get worried.

Swayman is reportedly looking for $10 million per year. However, the Bruins are only offering a pitiful salary of $6.2 million. Overall, this has put the two at odds and it is starting to boil over into training camp, as expected. There were fears that Swayman would not participate at training camp. Now, that has been confirmed, at least for now.

According to reporter Dan Roche, Swayman is currently not on the list for training camp. Instead, he will be holding out until further notice.

Previously, Brad Marchand spoke about the Swayman situation and noted how it has become a bit out of hand. Clearly, the Bruins captain just wants his goaltender back on the team.

"It's a big topic of conversation with the fans and the media, and this is part of the business, and we all are really looking forward to when it does get done and the process is over and he is back with the group. But that's obviously out of our hands and we don't get involved in any of that. So it'll be great when everything gets kind of squared away."

Only time will tell how this all shakes out. If one thing is for certain, it is that this Bruins team is in disarray very early on and that spells trouble for the rest of the season. Hopefully, they can figure something out and fast.
