NHL insider drops bombshell on Jeremy Swayman's future deal with the B's
Before the beloved and respected site, CapFriendly was shutdown, they provided some much needed information regarding what Jeremy Swayman's contract could look like.
The main thing is too look at NHL comparables to get an idea of what a players contract is going to look like, of course there are always other factors that dictate the number offered.
With Ullmark headed to the Ottawa Senators, Jeremy Swayman is the Bruins only #1 goalie, which gives him more leverage to demand more. The comparables too look at are Juuse Saros, Connor Hellebuyck, Ilya Sorokin, and Andrei Vasilievskyi.
However according to Evolving Hockey, if the Bruins play hardball, his Project Contract could end up around $6.25 Million AAV.
That's because the variance in Swayman's perceived value is as wide as the goalie's ceiling is tall.
Consider the following data points:
� $5 million, Thatcher Demko's average annual value on a five-year contract signed March 31, 2021, per CapFriendly.
� $6.253 million, Swayman's average annual value on a four-year contract projected by Evolving Hockey.
� $7.5 million, Swayman's AAV on an eight-year contract projected by an agent granted anonymity to discuss a player he does not represent.
� $7.74 million, Juuse Saros' AAV on an eight-year contract signed July 1.
� $9.5 million, Andrei Vasilevskiy's AAV on an eight-year contract signed July 29, 2019.
� $11 million, Swayman's AAV on an eight-year contract projected by The Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn.
There has not been a lot fo details or reports on any significant progress being made between Swayman and the Bruins, but with both parties refusing to go to arbitration, shows that they could be close to a deal.
