Major development in contract talks with the Bruins and Swayman
With the Bruins recent signings of Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadarov, will the team finally focus on #1 goalie Jeremy Swayman?
With the arrival of Joonas Korpisalo from Ottawa, brought here in the Linus Ullmark trade it appears the Bruins have found their back-up.
But with all of this ruckus, is Swayman truly being treated as a priority?
With the signings of Lindholm and Zadrarov, the Bruins have a limited $8 Million+ in cap space to sign their goalie with.
«We're going to continue to find a negotiated landing spot,» said Sweeney. «The timing is what it is. However long it takes, it's not impacted by what we did today. We're in a great spot to find the best-negotiated deal we can find for both sides.»
It appears that the team has again shifted it's gaze back to Swayman, who had a record of 25-10-8 in 2023-2024, with a 2.53 GAA, and a .916 save percentage, with 3 shutouts.
He also started in all Stanley Cup playoff games, aside from one.
It would be a stretch to lowball your best goalie, especially after trading your 2nd in rotation.
