Neely emphasized that while contract talks can be complex, he is confident that an agreement will be reached soon. Swayman, who became the Bruins’ top goalie during the regular season and playoffs, has shown great potential. With Linus Ullmark traded to the Ottawa Senators, the Bruins are relying on Swayman to be their number one goalie moving forward.

Neely praised Swayman’s focus and determination, noting that the decision to trade Ullmark was made with the future in mind, as re-signing him after 2024-25 seemed unlikely. Although Swayman is a restricted free agent and could receive offers from other teams, the Bruins remain committed to securing his future with the team. Now, it’s just a matter of when the deal will be finalized.
