Rumors swirl as the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman saga marches on, and many rumors involve the Detroit Red Wings as a possible dance partner.
The Boston Bruins and their star goaltender, Swayman, haven’t inked a contract as the regular season is almost upon us. It’s not a position that any team or player wants to find themselves in, but here they are.
Meanwhile, a second-line center, number-one defenseman, and number-one starter in net are three positions that have plagued the Detroit Red Wings for years.
The lack of a top goaltender may be the driving force behind the Detroit Red Wings and Swayman rumors. We know it’s not because general manager, Steve Yzerman, has shared anything, he’s a steel trap. Of course, it could be a scare tactic by the Boston Bruins to get Swayman to sign a new deal. The threat of backstopping the Detroit Red Wings is a scary thought.
We’ve seen countless careers, especially goaltenders, come to die in the Motor City, only for their careers to revive elsewhere (or the player retires) except for Jonathan Bernier. Although, his career was never quite the same after his stop in Detroit, Michigan

The Detroit Red Wings tend to find a goaltender through trade (except for Alex Lyon; poor fella came willingly), so that may be another reason the Detroit Red Wings have been linked to the Boston Bruins and Swayman. They also have the assets to send back to the Boston Bruins (few teams have that luxury).
