The Canadiens can now officially make an offer to star goalie Jeremy Swayman
TVA Sports network has just raised an intriguing possibility involving the Montreal Canadiens and star goalie Jeremy Swayman.
Swayman made a surprising decision by refusing the arbitration process and leaving the door wide open to receive a offer sheet from another team.
We are talking about one of the best goalies in the world.
An offer sheet for star goalie Jeremy Swayman?
Here is an excerpt from the article just published on the TVA Sports website:
«Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins can now receive a offer sheet from other NHL teams, including the Montreal Canadiens.
This was reported Saturday by the NESN network after the 5 PM deadline to request the involvement of an arbitrator in contract negotiations had passed.» - TVA Sports
Let's remember that last summer, the contract negotiations between Swayman and the Bruins went extremely poorly and seem to have left a mark.
«I am trying very hard not to panic at the thought that the Bruins traded Swayman's two best friends, then potentially upset him at the contract table AGAIN!» - Pete Blackburn
This will be a major issue to watch if Swayman indeed becomes available.
Some teams are seriously considering making a offer sheet to Swayman, according to journalist Ty Anderson.
«According to 98.5 The Sports Hub journalist Ty Anderson, a club must be able to put a $9.1 million offer on the table to counter Boston.
This includes the Canadiens, who also have the necessary draft picks.» - TVA Sports
Jeremy Swayman, 25 years old, is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound goalie.
He has astonishing stats in the NHL. We're talking about a record of 85 wins and 38 losses, a goals-against average of 2.32, and a save percentage of .921 (career).
In the recent 2024 playoffs, he maintained an average of 2.15 and a save percentage of .933. That's phenomenal.
