The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman have finally ended their stalemate on Sunday.
The goalie and the team agreed to terms of $8.25 Million AAV, over 8 years giving Swayman a contract with a total value of $66 Million.
With this stalemate, the Bruins have finished making panic moves as they waived former Canucks goalie, Jiri Patera, only to be claimed by the Vancouver Canucks once again.
But the best news of it all for Bruins fans is that Jeremy Swayman could be in the net this week.
It was stated by Jim Montgomery that Joonas Korpisalo would start opening night against the Florida Panthers. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
When speaking to the media on Monday, head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters that it is «unlikely» that Jeremy Swayman would be ready to go for the team's season opener against the Florida Panthers on Oct. 8. Montgomery added that Joonas Korpisalo is being projected to lead the Bruins when the puck drops on the regular season.
«Right now, he's going to be our Game 1 starter,» said Montgomery.
«Right now, he's going to be our Game 1 starter,» said Montgomery.
But this was reported on September 30th, before the dam had broken and Swayman had signed his new deal on the sixth.
No offense to Joonas Korpisalo, but the Bruins need their best foot forward in the net to win games.
The goalie to do that is Jeremy Swayman, who has stated he wants to be a Bruin long-term.
Now Don Sweeney and company have finally given fans what they wanted, Swayman in the net for 8 years, and a chance to win a cup.
Swayman had a 25-10-8 record, with a 2.53 GAA, and a .916 save percentage.
