Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins submitted their arbitration asks on Friday, with both teams so far apart on numbers, it's no surprise that the arbitrator had to step in.
Today, the arbitrator announced Swayman's contract for next year and it's worth $3.475M.
Swayman, 24, played in 37 games last season, compiling a record of 24-6-4 with 4 shutouts, a 2.27 goals against average and a .920 save percentage.
With only 88 games of National Hockey League experience across 3 seasons, 4.8 million was a lofty ask to begin with, but $3.475M is a fair deal/ a little too high even though his numbers at the NHL level have been very good.
