Jeremy Swayman Hates The Arbitration Process

Jeremy Swayman Hates The Arbitration Process

Jeremy Swayman is happy to still be with the Bruins heading into the 2023-24 NHL Season. However, he may have some lingering effects of PTSD from the arbitration process he dealt with this offseason. Swayman was awarded $3.48 million on a one year deal for this season. It’s safe to say that Swayman hated every second of going through negotiations.

Do Not click the link in the quote. It’s from the trash bag Athletic and behind a paywall.

“The biggest thing was living day by day, understanding that what you hear might not be the truth at all times,” Swayman said Tuesday, per The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa.

“It’s a business. I wanted to make sure that whatever was thrown my way, I was going to be able to attack it with a good mindset and making sure that at the end of the day, I was doing everything I could to be a Boston Bruin.

“There’s no ill will on the process. Because I understand I’m not the first player to go through it and not the last. But I definitely don’t wish it upon any of my friends or teammates moving forward. And I don’t want to do it ever again as well.”

Swayman, 24, has proved that he is one of the best young goalies in the world. The former Maine product posted a SV% of .920 with a 24-6-4 record a year ago. I’m not sure if Swayman is aware of this but he will also be a restricted free agent next year too, barring a midseason contract extension.

Honestly, some blame here needs to go to the league in general. Every team is struggling to stay under the cap right now. It’s been a flat cap for several years now. Eventually, teams are just going to struggle signing young players.
