Jeremy Swayman officially re-signs with the Boston Bruins
The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman have reportedly agreed to a new contract.
Early this morning Elliotte Friedman reported that the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman were close to signing a new contract.
According to Elliotte Friedman The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman have agreed to a 8 year $8.25 million deal.
There were reports that Jeremy Swayman wanted $9.5-$10 million on his next deal and ended up settling for $8.25 million.
The Boston Bruins now have their starting goaltender locked up for the beginning of the regular season. Don Sweeney remained hopeful that the Boston Bruins would sign Jeremy Swayman before the December 1st deadline, and it wasn't looking like a deal would be completed until around that time with how contract negotiations were going, but the Boston Bruins officially have their starting goaltender for opening night.
Obviously it took the Bruins and Swayman awhile to figure this out, but Bruins fans are just thankful they were able to lock him up before the regular season.
The Boston Bruins are taking a bit of a gamble with Jeremy Swayman, as he has never been a true number one goalie, but in 132 games, Swayman has a record of 79-33-15 with a 2.34 GAA and a .919 SV%.
If Jeremy Swayman keeps playing the way he has down the line, this contract will look like a steal for the Boston Bruins.
