Jeremy Swayman publicly shares his frustrations with his contract situation with the Boston Bruins
Jeremy Swayman's contract situation with the Boston Bruins remains unresolved as the start of training camp looms, creating uncertainty for the team's 2024/25 season.
For weeks now, fans and analysts alike have been surprised by the delay in Jeremy Swayman's contract renewal with the Boston Bruins. The expectation was that Swayman, who is now the team's undisputed No. 1 goalie following the trade of his close friend Linus Ullmark, would have signed a new deal by now. Instead, Swayman remains a restricted free agent, and the negotiations are reportedly at an impasse.
According to reports, the arbitration hearing that took place last year might be influencing the current situation. Swayman's comments indicate he's well aware of the financial aspects of the NHL and feels strongly about being fairly compensated.
"The answer I'm gonna give you this year, is that I've educated myself, and I understand the business side of it all. It's given me a complete new mindset of understanding the business and how to react to it. I understand the cap is going up and where it will be in years. I understand my comparables and how I can't ruin the goalie market for guys that are gonna be in my shoes down the line."
"I went to the school of business for the university of Maine, and I love the business side of it all.»
As training camp approaches, the clock is ticking for the Bruins and Swayman to reach an agreement.
With Swayman being the only high-caliber starter for Boston, he appears to hold significant leverage in the ongoing contract negotiations.
Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if a resolution can be reached before the season begins.
