Jeremy Swayman’s ‘educated’ stance on contract talks with Bruins
The Boston Bruins added big names in NHL Free Agency this summer. However, the team’s most pressing piece of business entering free agency is still unsolved. Boston still needs to sign goalie Jeremy Swayman to a new contract before the season begins. The Bruins are confident they can sign Swayman, but hurdles remain.
Swayman recently appeared on the Shut Up Mark podcast where his contract situation came up. The Bruins goalie addressed his approach to contract talks. And he mentioned how aware he has become of outside factors such as the salary cap and other goalies in comparable situations.
“The answer I’m going to give you this year is that I’ve educated myself, and that I understand the business side of it all. And 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 other guys that are going to be in my shoes down the line,” the Bruins goalie said on the Shut Up Mark podcast.
