Bruins Goaltender Nearly Joined Another Team
Jeremy Swayman is gearing up for another stint with the Boston Bruins, having secured a one-year contract worth $3.475 million through arbitration.
Last Season's Achievement
In the previous season, Boston witnessed a significant milestone as Swayman, along with teammate Linus Ullmark, clinched the William Jennings Award, an honor bestowed upon the goaltending duo for allowing the fewest goals.
A Different Path: Toronto Maple Leafs Miss
Reflecting on the 2017 NHL Draft, Swayman recalled different expectations. He believed he might be joining the Toronto Maple Leafs, but the team chose goaltender Ian Scott in the fourth round instead.
A Twist of Fate
However, destiny had other plans. Swayman learned of his future with Boston before the official confirmation from the team.
From Disappointment to Excitement
While initial disappointment was undeniable, Swayman's emotions quickly shifted upon joining the Bruins.
Alternate Scenario
Imagine the alternate universe where Swayman dons the Toronto Maple Leafs' blue and white instead of the iconic black and yellow Bruins' colors. How different might his career have unfolded in that scenario?
