With his current contract set to expire, the timing aligns with the NHL/NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, allowing players on expiring contracts to negotiate and sign extensions with their current teams starting on January 1.

Swayman's expressed desire to remain with the Bruins adds weight to the growing speculation that the team is working towards securing his future in Boston.

"I think we're playing the right way and it's exciting to be in this locker room right now"

The Bruins also have a favorable financial position, boasting over $25 million in projected salary-cap space for the next season, which provides ample room to offer Swayman a significant raise from his current $3.47 million salary.

As the weeks progress, fans and analysts eagerly await official news regarding Jeremy Swayman's contract extension, which could potentially reshape the goaltending landscape for the Bruins, sparking further discussions about the future of his goalie partner, Linus Ullmark, and the team's aspirations for the season ahead.
