Bruins Fans Left Confused After Recent Reports From Former NHL'er
In the wake of an impressive season, goaltender Jeremy Swayman has become an invaluable asset for the Boston Bruins.
However, the team's tight salary cap situation may force them to make some difficult decisions, and Swayman's future with the team hangs in the balance.
It is believed that the Bruins may make Swayman available for trade at the draft.
With Swayman set to become a restricted free agent (RFA), his exceptional performance last season, boasting a remarkable record of 24-6-4, a 2.27 goals against average (GAA), and a .920 save percentage (SV%), is likely to warrant a significant pay raise.
At just 24 years old, Swayman's potential and skill set make him an enticing prospect for many teams in need of a reliable netminder.
Unfortunately, the Bruins' cap problems make it increasingly challenging to retain both Swayman and their other goalie,
Linus Ullmark.
In order to create some financial flexibility, the Bruins may need to explore the possibility of trading Swayman at the upcoming draft.
While it would be a difficult decision to part ways with a young and promising talent like Swayman, the harsh realities of salary cap management necessitate tough choices.
