Could the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman go short-term?
TSN: Chris Johnston said the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman have been talking long-term but would a short-term get them through this?
“They’ve been working at this file for quite some time trying to find an agreement on, what I think, has been focused on a long-term deal. You have to wonder if they can’t quite get there, if they can’t bridge that gap, maybe they find something a little shorter to get to a solution here. But certainly, this is a big one around the league.”

Will the Detroit Red Wings and Moritz Seider go less than eight years?
TSN: Chris Johnston said the Detroit Red Wings and RFA defenseman Moritz Seider had been talking max term but could they go a littler shorter to keep the money a little lower?
“But it sounds like now it’s going to be something a little shorter, and the reason for that is the Red Wings have been reluctant to pay anyone more than the $8.7 million per year that captain Dylan Larkin gets. I think one way to maybe get Seider into the mid-eights, or somewhere below that number is to do a six or seven-year deal, and so look for that as they look to get him signed and in camp here as soon as possible.”
NHL Rumors: Detroit Red Wings, and the Winnipeg Jets
The Winnipeg Jets and Cole Perfetti may not be close
TSN: Darren Dreger says that the Winnipeg Jets and Cole Perfetti are talking bridge but they aren’t close and he could miss part of training camp.
“But, there is a significant gap in this negotiation, and unless something changes in the very near future, then it’s pretty obvious that Perfetti is going to miss some time.”
David Pagnotta: (yesterday afternoon) “The Jets have Cole Perfetti listed on their training camp roster despite not yet having a contract. I’m told by a team source there’s no deal yet, as of this minute. Winnipeg will keep Perfetti listed unless he doesn’t report to camp, which officially opens tomorrow. Still time.“
