"If I didn't have that experience, I probably wouldn't understand the importance of it."
"By the time Swayman finally put pen to paper on an eight-year, $66 million contract on Oct. 6, the toll of a contentious contract dispute was evident. The Bruins finally had their top goalie back in the fold. But both training camp and a full preseason slate had passed them all by."
"After speaking with the media upon inking his new contract, Swayman had to hop on a plane down to Florida - given that Boston's season opener was scheduled just two days later against the Panthers. Be it the lack of training-camp reps, the erosion of Boston's rigid defensive structure in front of him, or Swayman's own regression in net, the 2024-25 season was a painful one for Swayman."
Jeremy Swayman missed Boston's three-week training camp and the full preseason due to a contract dispute and signed an eight-year, $66 million deal on Oct. 6. He flew directly to Florida two days later for the season opener, arriving without camp preparation. A combination of missed reps, an eroding defensive structure in front of him, and personal regression produced a painful 2024–25 season and a career-worst .892 save percentage. Swayman views the upcoming training camp as a clean slate and expects full participation to help move past last season's struggles.
