The Boston Bruins have committed to their goalie of the future.
Jeremy Swayman agreed to an eight-year contract, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported the deal is worth $8.25 million annually.
Swayman played the 2023-24 season on a $3.475 million deal reached through arbitration with the Bruins. Both parties declined the opportunity for another round of arbitration this summer.
The new extension resolves a contract dispute that led to Swayman holding out from training camp and the Bruins' preseason.
The dispute led Bruins president Cam Neely and Swayman's agent Lewis Gross to publicly disagree as to how much the netminder had been offered in negotiations.
