The last time Don Sweeney had $20+ Million in cap space available, it was prior to the 2021-2022 season and he spent major cash on Taylor Hall, Tomas Nosek, Nick Foligno, Linus Ullmark, Derek Forbort, Erik Haula, and Mike Reilly.
Now the team's #1 goalie, Sweeney will have to lock him down long-term and fill the eventual space left by Ullmark, once traded.
Using Juuse Saros as an example his 2021 contract had four years of term, to which Swayman could be projected at 5, with a $6 Million AAV, comparable to Saros' 2021 contract.
Swayman has 144 games of NHL experience, with a .920 save percentage, much like Saros' 155 games in 2021 and a .920 save percentage.
Swayman's last season with the Boston Bruins totals are as follows: 25-10-8, 2.53 GAA, and .916 save percentage.
