Linus Ullmark’s tenure in Boston reached its anticipated conclusion with Monday’s trade with the Ottawa Senators.
As one half of the now former dynamic goaltending tandem begins adjusting to his new home, GM Don Sweeney and the Bruins’ front office turn their attention toward signing Jeremy Swayman to a long-term contract extension.
The two sides settled on a $3.475 million deal following arbitration last summer. But with Swayman solidifying his spot in Boston’s net following a stellar postseason, the parties remain keen on putting the final touches on a multi-year deal.
“It’s a priority for us to continue to have discussions necessary to get Jeremy under contract,” Sweeney said during his pre-Draft press conference on Thursday.
