Jeremy Swayman will not be taking the ice for the Boston Bruins until he and the team agrees to a new contract.

According to the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement, if both the Bruins and Swayman are unable to come to terms on a deal prior to Dec. 1, Swayman will be ineligible to play for the remainder of the season and the playoffs.

What dates and outside factors could influence the Bruins' negotiation with their No. 1 goalie and what might a compromise look like as camp starts.
