Amidst the Bruins' cap crunch this off-season, arbitration became a necessary path for Jeremy Swayman and Trent Frederic.

For Bruins' General Manager Don Sweeney, navigating this territory was uncharted, but Swayman's contract stands out as a bright spot, with the arbitrator awarding him a reasonable $3.475 million for a one-year deal.

Why is this a win for both sides? First, it secures the 24-year-old goaltender as a valuable backup for at least another year, easing the team's worries.

Additionally, it provides relief to their cap situation, enabling them to focus on addressing the center position needs without the immediate concern for goaltending.

While Linus Ullmark's future as a Bruin remains uncertain, next year offers more cap flexibility, allowing the Bruins to potentially extend Swayman's contract and solidify their goaltending for the long term.
