According to the NHL/NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, players on expiring contracts can initiate contract extensions with their current teams starting on January 1.
Swayman, a 25-year-old goaltender, has been a standout performer, earning recognition as an early Vezina Trophy candidate with a 10-2-4 record, 2.17 GAA, and a .929 save percentage.
Speculation about a potential contract extension for Swayman has been circulating, notably on the 32 Thoughts podcast, where Sportsnet NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman discussed the likelihood of extensions for certain players, highlighting Swayman as one to watch.
This speculation isn't new, as Friedman had previously expressed his anticipation of a contract extension for Swayman back in November.
Throughout the arbitration process last August, Swayman consistently expressed his desire to remain with the Boston Bruins beyond the current season.
As the anticipation builds, Swayman's potential contract extension could be a significant development for the Bruins, ensuring the continuation of the promising goaltender's journey with the team.
The outcome of these negotiations will undoubtedly shape the goaltending landscape for the Bruins moving forward.
