The Boston Bruins have finalized a significant contract with goaltender Jeremy Swayman, worth $66 million over eight years, which includes an $8.25 million salary cap hit. This places Swayman among the top goalie contracts in the NHL, reflecting his performance as one of the league's elite netminders.

Despite the increased expectations, Swayman remains focused on the ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup. The Bruins currently have limited cap space, approximately $387,000, with roster decisions looming as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Looking ahead, the Bruins are projected to have around $18 million in cap space next offseason, but they will need to negotiate new deals for several key players, including Brad Marchand and Trent Frederic. The team is gearing up for the 2024-25 season with their opener against the Florida Panthers.
