This opens up the possibility for a rival team, such as the Montreal Canadiens, to step in and make an offer, potentially complicating matters for Bruins GM Don Sweeney.
As reported by TVA Sports, the Montreal Canadiens have the necessary cap space and draft picks to make a substantial offer to Swayman. Given Swayman's impressive stats, including a career save percentage of .921% and a stellar playoff performance, he would be a valuable asset to any team.
According to Ty Anderson of 98.5 Boston's Sports Hub, any team considering an offer sheet would need to invest around $9.1 million to counter the Bruins. This level of compensation indicates the high regard for Swayman's abilities and the strategic considerations involved for both the Bruins and potential suitors like the Canadiens.
Swayman's situation highlights the complexities of NHL contract negotiations and the potential for rival teams to leverage opportunities to strengthen their rosters while challenging their competitors.
