Bruins Fans Shouldn’t Worry About Swayman Contract Delay
The Boston Bruins and goaltender Jeremy Swayman haven’t agreed on a new contract yet, but fans shouldn’t panic.
Despite the ongoing negotiations, experts believe Swayman will be in net for the Bruins’ season opener. There’s no indication of a serious disagreement between the two parties; it’s more of a waiting game. The busy offseason schedule has likely delayed contract talks.
Swayman has proven himself as a top-tier goalie, and the Bruins want to keep him. However, they’re still negotiating the financial terms of his new deal. The team has enough salary cap space to significantly increase Swayman’s pay, and experts believe they should do so to retain him.
While there’s no offer sheet from other teams for Swayman, the Bruins are in a strong position to secure his services. A long-term contract with a lower annual salary could be a potential solution to bridge the gap between the two sides.
Ultimately, the Bruins are expected to re-sign Swayman before the start of the season.
