Swayman Gets His Payday; Bruins Agree to 8 Years, $66M
Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston BruinsAbout this episode
On Sunday, the Boston Bruins signed goaltender Jeremy Swayman to an 8-year contract extension through the 2031-32 season with an annual NHL cap hit of $8.25 million. The $66M deal comes less than a week after team president Cam Neely disclosed to the media a $64M deal was on the table, and Swayman's agent said they needed a few days to regroup after the breach in confidence and a note saying his client had received no such offer. Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down how cooler heads prevailed, and the Bruins locked up their franchise goalie for his prime years at what SHOULD prove to be a very reasonable cap hit as his ceiling - and the NHL's salary ceiling - continues to rise. 8 years is risky, but they have their man in net, and that's all that matters right now. Plus, Brandon Bussi and Jiri Patera were put on waivers, both of whom are real candidates to be scooped. Subscribe and become an EVERY DAY LISTENER. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
