The Boston Bruins are looking to have a bounce back year after a very disappointing 2024-25 season.
Don Sweeney made a lot of moves during free agency, but nothing special enough to consider them as contenders.
If the Boston Bruins want to get back to being a contender, they are going to have to rely on their veteran players, and Jeremy Swayman.
Swayman had a terrible first. year as the starting goaltender for the Boston Bruins, and now some questions have surfaced regarding him being a starting goaltender.
Could the Bruins trade Swayman if he doesn't have a bounce back year?
Here is what The Hockey News had to say regarding Jeremy Swayman having a bounce back year next season.
Question 1: Will Jeremy Swayman Have A Bounce-Back Season?
After signing an eight-year, $66 million contract right before the start of the 2024-25 season, Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman put together the worst campaign of his five-year career. The Anchorage, Alaska native was nowhere near his elite form, as he had a 22-29-7 record, a .892 save percentage, and a 3.11 goals-against average. His struggles were one of many reasons why Boston took a major step in the wrong direction.
If the Bruins hope to get back to being a playoff team next season, they will need Swayman to have a bounce-back season. He was excellent during his first four seasons with the Bruins before his nightmare 2024-25 campaign. He had a save percentage of .914 or better in each of them and memorably won the William M. Jennings Trophy alongside Linus Ullmark in 2022-23.
If the Bruins get the All-Star version of Swayman again, it would be significant for a team looking to be a playoff team again. Yet, if Swayman doesn't improve, it will be another long season in Boston.

Jeremy Swayman has been involved in a lot of trade rumors already, and if the Oilers are still struggling to find goaltending, they could circle back at the trade deadline.
Don Sweeney could look to move on from him if the return is enough to boost their retool, especially if someone like Michael DiPietro shows some promise.
