The outcome concerning goalie Jeremy Swayman carries significant weight, as it will determine the need for an additional cost-cutting maneuver.
Considering similar signings, Swayman's arbitration award has the potential to surpass the $4MM threshold.
Impressively tallying 31 points in 79 games, winger Trent Frederic is poised for a substantial salary increase, potentially doubling his previous $1.05MM AAV.
Meanwhile, defenseman Ian Mitchell, the third filer, is unlikely to receive a considerably higher offer than his qualifying amount of $874K. It wouldn't be surprising if they opt for a reduced NHL contract in exchange for a higher AHL salary.
Currently, the Bruins hold just under $7MM in salary cap space, as reported by CapFriendly, and it's conceivable that signing these three players could surpass that figure.
