Insider reveals major obstacle for Bruins in signing Jeremy Swayman
The Bruins are facing major challenges in re-signing Jeremy Swayman, says Insider Kevin Paul DuPont of the Boston Globe.
The Boston Bruins boasted a strong goaltending duo during the 2023-24 season with Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark, both achieving a save percentage of at least .915.
However, after trading Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators for Mark Kastelic, Joonas Korpisalo, and a draft pick, the Bruins now face a challenge in keeping Swayman.
"The Boston Bruins have traded goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Mark Kastelic, goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick."
Despite having $8.6 million in cap space, the Bruins might struggle to fit Swayman's new contract, which is expected to exceed $9 million annually. NHL Insider Kevin Paul DuPont suggests the team may need to make additional trades to free up enough room.
