Jeremy Swayman will still have to prove himself all over again when Bruins’ training camp opens again in September (new coach TBD). He’ll have to prove that he’s the goalie that showed enough promise to demand and receive an eight-year, $66 million contract last summer, and not the guy who then proceeded to post a 22-29-7 record with a career-worst (by far) .892 save percentage and 3.11 goals against average.

But he also didn't think the lack of an extension has been much of a road block, either.
