NHL Information: Jeremy Swayman Indicators Eight-12 months Extension in Boston
Bryan Hayes: “With Chris Johnson or TSN Hockey Insider. So, the Jeremy Swayman contract will get signed earlier than the brand new 12 months begins. He doesn’t lose a penny, proper? He will get his full no-move, no-trade, I imagine, $23 million in signing bonus or no matter, however $8.25 per 12 months. So he’s beneath Hellebuyck, and I’d say that’s a Bruins win.
Like it will, it appeared to me that the Bruins held their floor and, on the final second, gave him an additional 250 a 12 months, or no matter it was, and so they pressured him to make a name. And he made a name, and he determined, I don’t actually need to miss time.

Chris Johnston: “Properly, I used to be of the camp. I believed it was a little bit of a Swayman win. Perhaps not a decisive one. However you realize, a part of Cam Neely’s quote is the $64 million causes to be in camp, and we ended up with $66 million causes to signal earlier than opening night time.
And so the Bruins did should stretch themselves, I feel, a bit of past the place they wished to go. You realize, it’s however the actuality is, it’s stacked. The deck is stacked towards you as a participant. Should you had been to overlook days of the season, such as you’re simply going to lose cash which you could by no means get again, and in Swayman’s case, for this contract to be $43,000 a day, is what he would have been giving up with day by day he missed, unsigned.

However you realize, I feel he did properly for himself by taking them proper to the eleventh hour.

He results in arbitration final summer time. I imply, he’s bought safety like he’s by no means had earlier than, and so, you realize, it’s exhausting for me to not assume that he ended up on the great finish of this. And, you realize, the query Noodles might be there to reply. I don’t know what it’s going to take for him to stand up to hurry. I imply, he was skating with Boston College there and going by means of his reps. However principally, that’s nowhere close to the identical degree of competitors as a NHL coaching camp or preseason video games or or issues like that.”
Jamie McLennan: “I feel it’ll take a few weeks like they, you realize, Korpisalo can begin some video games and get them into the season. He’s bought to get practising with the crew, with the goaltender coach, all of that. Simply acclimate himself again with the group.”
