Insider reveals major update on Jeremy Swayman negotiations with Boston Bruins
As Boston Bruins fans eagerly anticipate news on Jeremy Swayman's contract, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has shared a new update.
Jeremy Swayman, a restricted free agent (RFA), remains unsigned midway through August, raising concerns among Bruins supporters.
According to Friedman on the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, the Bruins and Swayman are still far from finalizing a deal. Despite the team's commitment to Swayman-evident in their trade of Linus Ullmark-contract negotiations have been challenging. With only $8.6 million in cap space, the Bruins might struggle to meet Swayman's financial expectations. His impressive career stats-79-33-15 record, 2.34 GAA, and .919 save percentage-highlight his value, although last season showed a slight decline in his performance.
Jeremy Swayman, however, remains unfazed. Speaking about his contract situation, he expressed confidence in a positive resolution.
«There's a lot of confidence. And I say that because I've treated it like business as usual this year. I've been at Warrior, I've been working out with our guys, our staff, our players. And I know that there's something special building in this locker room this year, and I can't be more excited about that. I know that it will take care of itself with time, and all I can do is control how I'm going to be a better goalie for the Boston Bruins this year. So, that's all I'm focused on. And I know, again, it will work out, and I couldn't be happier to be a Bruin»
While the Bruins excelled last season, their success this year might hinge on how they address Jeremy Swayman's contract situation. Can the team thrive with Swayman as the sole goaltender? The coming weeks will reveal whether they can repeat or even surpass last season's achievements.
