Swayman who played the majority of the team's post-season games, aside from one now #1 has run into a conundrum. The Bruins and the goalie have yet to come to terms on a new deal, as training camp is a little over a month away.
And the 32 Thoughts Podcast Elliotte Friedman notes that neither side is close to a new deal:
He's just finishing his last contract which was awarded to him in arbitration, a one-year $3.475 Million dollar last summer. He was asking for $5 Million while the Bruins only offered $2 Million AAV.
As of now, the Bruins only have $8.63 Million dollars in cap space available.
Swayman has earned the right to get paid, with a 25-10-8 record, 2.53 GAA a .916 save percentage, and three-shut outs.
