Whenever a player in a certain position gets paid, similarly skilled players in that same position take notice. They subsequently use the case study as a reference for what their own salary should be. That said, it seems like Swayman is about to be that reference point for Igor Shesterkin, Adin Hill, and Thatcher Demko.
According to The Hockey News, Swayman is up for a new contract and he could make upwards of $7 million per year or even more. With that in mind, goalies around the aforementioned young netminders could be blessed with humongous salaries. For GMs around the league, Swayman's situation is one they are watching very closely.
