With the New Year approaching, the Boston Bruins might be preparing for a notable announcement involving goaltender Jeremy Swayman. According to the NHL/NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, players whose contracts are expiring can initiate discussions for contract extensions with their current teams beginning January 1st.
Swayman, a 25-year-old goalie, has excelled and is considered an early contender for the Vezina Trophy, boasting a 10-2-4 record, a 2.17 GAA, and a .929 save percentage. The buzz about a possible contract extension for Swayman has been circulating, particularly on the 32 Thoughts podcast, where Sportsnet NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman discussed the likelihood of extensions for specific players, highlighting Swayman as a key figure.
This speculation isn't new, as Friedman previously expressed his anticipation of a contract extension for Swayman in November. Throughout the arbitration process last August, Swayman consistently conveyed his desire to stay with the Boston Bruins beyond the ongoing season.
As the excitement grows, Swayman's potential contract extension could mark a significant development for the Bruins, ensuring the continuation of the talented goalie's journey with the team. The result of these negotiations will undeniably influence the Bruins' goaltending scenario going forward.
