The Boston Bruins have some tough decisions to make heading into free agency, the biggest one is getting a deal done with goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
Ullmark and Swayman have been play a A1, B1 rotation for the Bruins for quite some time now, that was before Swayman took over the starting role in the playoffs for the Boston Bruins.
Swayman appeared in 12 out of 13 games the Bruins played in the playoffs, stealing the starting spot from his partner Linus Ullmark.
With that being said it's likely Jeremy Swayman will be asking for a big pay day on his contract, and with the Bruins only limited to $20.9 million cap space, they have a tough decision to make with Ullmark.
A lot of rumours are suggesting the Bruins are going to try and move Linus Ullmark, just like they tried to at the trade deadline this year.
It's rumoured that Jeremy Swayman will be asking for a Connor Hellebuyck type of deal, which is around $8.5 million a year. There is no doubt that Jeremy Swayman is the future of the Bruins, Don Sweeney needs to get this done and lock him up.
