According to NHL trade rumor, After weeks of swirling trade rumors and speculation, the Boston Bruins have finally secured their goaltender, Jeremy Swayman, to a long-term contract. The deal, an 8-year pact worth $66 million ($8.25 million AAV), puts an end to the uncertainty surrounding Swayman's future and solidifies the Bruins' crease for years to come. During the offseason, the Bruins traded away former Vezina winner Linus Ullmark, which in turn had a direct impact on Jeremy Swayman's negotiations.
This is great news for Boston Bruins fans as their future between the pipes was hanging in the balance. There were heavy rumours circulating of Jeremy Swayman potentially exploring other options, with further discussion indicating that GM Don Sweeny was going to wait until Dec. 1st to get a deal done.
As per Bruins Latest, Swayman, 25, has quickly become a fan favorite in Boston with his stellar play and infectious personality. Last season, he posted a 25-10-8 record with a 2.53 GAA and .916 save percentage, placing him among the league's top goaltenders. His strong performance continued into the playoffs, where he backstopped the Bruins to the second round.
