Major last minute development involving Swayman and the Bruins
Prior to CapFriendly biting the dust, they provided important information regarding what Jeremy Swayman's next contract could look like.
When you want to get an idea of an projected contract, you have to look at comparables, and since Jeremy Swayman is the Bruins starting goalie, you have a list of comparables.
Including Juuse Saros, Andrei Vasilevskyi, Connor Hellebuyck, and Ilya Sorokin, in this list.
He could use this list to demand more for his next contract, and get his earned and well deserved payday.
Contract comparables for a potential Jeremey Swayman extension.
If Don Sweeney and the Bruins negotiate without giving an inch, Swayman could earn on the lower-end of $6.25 Million AAV:
General manager Don Sweeney has repeatedly declared that locking up the 25-year-old is a priority. That has yet to produce an agreement.
That's because the variance in Swayman's perceived value is as wide as the goalie's ceiling is tall.
Consider the following data points:
� $5 million, Thatcher Demko's average annual value on a five-year contract signed March 31, 2021, per CapFriendly.
� $6.253 million, Swayman's average annual value on a four-year contract projected by Evolving Hockey.
� $7.5 million, Swayman's AAV on an eight-year contract projected by an agent granted anonymity to discuss a player he does not represent.
� $7.74 million, Juuse Saros' AAV on an eight-year contract signed July 1.
� $9.5 million, Andrei Vasilevskiy's AAV on an eight-year contract signed July 29, 2019.
� $11 million, Swayman's AAV on an eight-year contract projected by The Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn. There's been no reported progress between Swayman and the Bruins camps respectively. But with neither camp going to arbitration, a deal seems likely sooner rather than later.
That is, unless someone decides to go rogue and send an offer-sheet. But that seems like a Marc Bergevin thing to do.
