With less than a week away until the NHL regular season commences, RFA and star goalie Jeremy Swayman is still unsigned and it seems there is no end in sight.
On the brand new Amazon Prime series, «FACEOFF: Inside the NHL», the 3rd episode focused around The Boston Bruins during the playoffs and specifically Jeremy Swayman. As the season came to a close, Swayman provided a big update on where he stands with the team and what he wants to happen moving forward.
«After coming up short in six games to the eventual Stanley Cup champions, Swayman expressed some doubt about what awaited him as a restricted free agent during the summer.
«I mean, I don't want it to end,» Swayman said on the show, per ESPN. «[This] could be the last time I wear a Bruins jersey. I know I'm going to do everything in my power to be a Bruin for a long time. As a kid growing up in Alaska, this was in my wildest [expletive] dreams. I never want it to end. I'm just so grateful that the sun's going to rise tomorrow and there's another opportunity to get better.
As the offseason progressed, he spoke about how his first experience with arbitration was a major eye opener and vowed he never wanted to go back. He explained he used the comments and evaluations as motivation.
«When you go into that room, you don't say a word,» Swayman said. «My arbitrator started first, he said all of these great things. The arbitrator on their side, their job is to help the management side and to rip players, and hearing that you're not worthy of what you think you're worthy of, that was hard to hear.
You don't forget what was said. I wrote �em down and I looked at �em the other day and I had a couple of checkmarks. My biggest knock was how I wasn't trustworthy in the playoffs. Check.»
