Boston Bruins Secure Jeremy Swayman with 8-Year, $66 Million Contract

The agreement ends a tense negotiation period just before the NHL season opener.

Jeremy Swayman, the last unsigned restricted free agent in the NHL, has committed to the Bruins through the 2031-32 season with a contract averaging $8.25 million annually.
The deal makes Swayman the fourth highest-paid active goalie in the NHL, aligning his salary with top goalies like Ilya Sorokin and trailing only a few others in the league.
Negotiations were contentious, with disputes over previous offers and Swayman missing training camp, but the final agreement includes over $23 million in signing bonuses and a no-trade clause.
Swayman steps into the role of primary goaltender after the Bruins traded Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators, solidifying his position as the team's go-to goalie.
With a career .919 save percentage and a strong playoff performance last season, Swayman is expected to be a cornerstone for Boston as they aim for future championship success.
