NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman hints in his 32 Thoughts Podcast that teams could inquire about goaltender Jeremy Swayman as Bruins regroup after last-place finish.
The Boston Bruins’ 2024-25 season ended in a tie for last in the Eastern Conference with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Now, General Manager Don Sweeney faces a critical offseason with big moves likely on the horizon.
On the 32 Thoughts Podcast, Elliotte Friedman suggested that Sweeney may receive calls about Swayman’s availability.
I think that the whole Swayman thing (contract), it kind of blew up their season before it started, and they never got on the rails
said Friedman.
With Swayman’s no-move clause not active until 2026-27, NHL teams that need a starting goaltender could see an opportunity.
Despite interest, trading Swayman seems unlikely.
After moving Linus Ullmark last summer and signing Swayman to an $8.25 million AAV deal, Boston can’t afford another major goalie shakeup.
Not everybody will look at it this way, but I do look at this year as a lost year for Swayman… just go out and be ready to be a great goalie.
Teams will inquire, but whether GM Sweeney listens, is another matter.
