Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced on Wednesday the team and goaltender Jeremy Swayman have not reached an agreement on a new deal and that the 25-year-old netminder will not participate in training camp until a deal is reached. The Bruins opened camp Wednesday but there were no on-ice activities. Both Sweeney and Head Coach Jim Montgomery were available to the media, however. There was an earlier report from Courtney Cox of The Greg Hill Show on WEEI that said a deal was done. However, WEEI colleague Rich Keefe from the Jones and Keefe Show stated that there was no deal and that the team does not want to exceed $8 million annually. Sweeney said he was “disappointed” that a contract was not in place and gave a December 1 deadline to come to an agreement.

The Alaska, Anchorage native Swayman started the most games in any season of his NHL career in 2023-24 while sharing time with former teammate and friend Linus Ullmark. Swayman started 43 games and finished with a 25-10-8 record, 2.53 goals against average, and a .916 save percentage. The 6-foot-2, 194-pound goalie holds a 79-33-15 career record with 12 shutouts and won the starting job from Ullmark in the postseason where Swayman started 12 games with a 6-6 record. However, his numbers were sparkling as the former University of Maine-Orono star registered a 2.15 GAA and .933 save percentage against Toronto and eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida.

Swayman was named to the first team All-Rookie team in 2020-21, won the Jennings Trophy with Ullmark in 2022-23 for the league’s top goalie tandem, and made the All-Star Team this season. The former Black Bear was runner-up for the Hobey Baker Award in 2020 for the NCAA’s top hockey player. Swayman was a restricted free agent when the season ended.
