A new rumor has linked the Boston Bruins to former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Martin Jones as a potential insurance option due to uncertainty surrounding Jeremy Swayman.
The Bruins had an interesting offseason regarding their goaltending situation. They traded former Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators, clearing the way for Swayman to become their starting goalie.
However, Swayman remains a restricted free agent, and reports suggest both sides are still far apart on contract terms.
Amidst this uncertainty, a report from HockeyBuzz suggests the Bruins may sign 34-year-old Martin Jones as a stopgap solution to ease pressure while they work out Swayman's contract.
With the Jeremy Swayman contract situation unresolved as of yet and Linus Ullmark now a member of Ottawa Senators, sources say that the Boston Bruins are focusing on a finding at least a stopgap option in net.
From what I've heard, 34-year-old Martin Jones is one of the main names being tossed around as a possibility for a one-year contract.

With the NHL season approaching quickly, the Bruins will need to act soon if they plan to bring Jones on board. Alternatively, they might wait to see if a Swayman deal is reached first.
