Jeremy Swayman Commits to Boston: Bruins Lock In Star Goalie with 2-Year Extension, Ending Trade Speculation and Igniting Hopes for a Stanley Cup Run
In a move that Boston Bruins fans had been eagerly waiting for, Jeremy Swayman has officially inked a two-year contract extension with the franchise, putting to rest weeks of swirling trade rumors and uncertainty surrounding his future with the team.
The deal not only solidifies the Bruins’ goaltending situation but also reaffirms their commitment to chasing another Stanley Cup with one of the league’s most promising young netminders between the pipes.
Swayman, 25, has quickly become a fan favorite in Boston with his calm demeanor, electric saves, and unmistakable chemistry with fellow goalie Linus Ullmark. His strong postseason performances and impressive regular-season numbers made him one of the hottest names in trade speculation circles this offseason. But with this new deal, those rumors have been extinguished, and the message from the Bruins is clear: Jeremy Swayman is a cornerstone of their future.
The extension is reportedly worth $3.475 million annually, a fair value for a goalie whose potential is still trending upward. More importantly, it provides Boston with short-term flexibility while keeping Swayman motivated heading into what many expect to be a pivotal season for the Bruins.
“This organization means everything to me,” Swayman said in a statement released shortly after the deal was announced. “I’ve grown so much as a player and a person in Boston. To be able to stay here and chase a Cup with this group — it means the world.”
The timing of the deal couldn’t have been better. With the NHL offseason heating up and teams scrambling to secure their rosters for the 2025 season, the Bruins have taken a major step in stabilizing their back end. Swayman, who posted a 25-10-8 record with a .920 save percentage last season, will continue to share the net with Ullmark, forming one of the league’s most dependable goaltending tandems.
Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney praised Swayman’s character and work ethic, calling him “a vital part of our identity and future success.” He also noted that the team has “unfinished business,” referencing the disappointing end to their last playoff run and highlighting the organization’s hunger to return to the Cup Final.
The fanbase has erupted with excitement and relief. Many had feared losing Swayman to arbitration or seeing him packaged in a blockbuster trade. Instead, they now look forward to two more years of highlight-reel saves, postgame hugs, and the quiet confidence that Swayman brings to the crease.
With this extension, the Bruins have not only secured their goalie of the future but have also sent a message to the rest of the NHL: Boston is not backing down. They’re reloading, refocusing, and ready to make another serious run at the Stanley Cup — with Jeremy Swayman leading the charge from the blue paint.
