Trade developing between the Boston Bruins and Anaheim Ducks involving Jeremy Swayman?
The Boston Bruins andAnaheim Ducks are reportedly in talks about a trade that would involve Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
The Boston Bruins have been trying to get a deal done with Jeremy Swayman since being eliminated from the playoffs by the Florida Panthers in the second round.
Both sides have not been able to agree on a deal, and it's been reported that the Boston Bruins have even low balled Jeremy Swayman multiple times.
Jeremy Swayman is looking for $9.5-$10 million on his next deal, but there have been reports that the Boston Bruins have offered him $6-$6.5 million multiple times.
For the Boston Bruins to afford what Jeremy Swayman is asking for, they would have to make a trade as they have just over $8.6 million according to PuckPedia.
There have been a lot of rumours lately that the Boston Bruins might opt to trade Jeremy Swayman if they cannot reach a deal soon.
NHL Trade Rumor has reported that the Boston Bruins andAnaheim Ducks might be engaged in talks that would be centered around Jeremy Swayman.
The Bruins are being hesitant to pay Jeremy Swayman what he wants, due to the little amount of games he has under his belt, leaving many to believe that a deal might not come out of this, and this could lead to a trade.
The Anaheim ducks seem like the perfect fit, as Jeremy Swayman would be the perfect goalie to grow with the young team, and he would also accelerate their rebuild.
In return the Boston Bruins would get John Gibson and a 2025 first-round pick.
John Gibson has solidified himself as a starting goaltender, and there have been a lot of rumours that he has wanted out of Anaheim for awhile now. He also has two years remaining on his deal with a AAV of $6.4 million which would be cheaper then Jeremy Swayman.
This is all just speculation at the moment, but if the Bruins were to trade Jeremy Swayman this deal would make the most sense.
