After a frustrating campaign 2024-25, there are legitimate questions in Boston about the future of goalkeeper Jeremy Swayman. His name is mentioned in trade rumors are summer, and although it doesn’t seem like theories are something more than loose speculation, the goalkeeper must have a bounce-back season if he wants to calm the trading noise.
Swayman signed a contract of eight years, $ 66 million last fall, but still has to meet the expectations that go with it. Now a rebound is required if the Bruins don’t think about turning, Deal can be dumped and find another starter. This season is not only important – it may also be necessary to prevent it from being dumped for money on the dollar.
Why this is so crucial to view this season is because of the clause in his contract. Swayman wears a full no-move, but not until the 2026-27 season. If the Bruins continue, this should probably happen in the coming months.
Swayman has little time to convince the Bruins that he has found his game
The struggles of Swayman were staring. He placed a 3.11 goals against average and a .892 savings percentage-giving career depth. While the blue line of the Bruins did not save him much, Swayman did not like the All-Star he once was. The air started to fall late in the season when he went 2-8-1 in his last 11 starts. In seven of those games, he allowed four or more goals.
Despite those figures, there are reasons for optimism. Swayman was excellent at the 2025 world championship, was unbeaten with a .921 savings percentage and helped win the US gold. He also ended the season healthy and motivated and said in April: “I can play better … I can’t wait to work on it.”
If he does not return in 2025-26, the Bruins-Al can retract with exploring other goal congregation options. Can he address a case to keep him early in the season? Or are the Bruins willing to wait if it looks like he’s trending in the wrong direction?
