Despite the Boston Bruins cap issues, Dreger noted that he's fairly certain that the Bruins would match any offer. With that said, this would certainly be a scenario that doesn't favor them.
After a remarkable season backing up Linus Ullmark, Jeremy Swayman is heading into the offseason as one of the Bruins' top free agents.
All though, he is a restricted free agent, so the Bruins still have control over his signing rights. However, for their sake, they should be aiming to lock him up as soon as possible � which might be harder than the Bruins think.
The netminder has shown that he can truly be a starter, and a lot of teams will be looking for a strong goalie this summer. So if the opportunity presents itself the Bruins could lose their back up.
In 37 games this season, Swayman put together a 24-6-4 record, honing a 2.27 GAA, and .920 SV%. There is no question that several teams would be looking to add the young superstar goaltender. to add a goaltender as reliable as him.
It should be interesting to see if any teams are bold enough to steal the Bruins goaltender from under their nose.
