Jeremy Swayman file: the Oilers must go all out

Indeed, if there’s one starting goaltender in his prime who could possibly leave his current team, it’s Swayman.

Of course, the Boston Bruins aren’t looking to part with him, especially not after finally getting him under contract after tough negotiations.

However, those same negotiations left their mark and clearly eroded the relationship between the goalie and the Bruins.

What’s more, after a difficult season in the first year of his new eight-year contract at $8.25 million a year, Swayman may well be tempted to leave the Bruins, who finished in the bottom half of the NHL.

In short, there’s clearly a connection to be made between the Edmonton Oilers and Jeremy Swayman’s name, especially considering that the Oilers had already put the feelers out, only to be told no.

In short, it’s clear that when you take all this information into account, if there’s even a small chance that the Bruins will part with Swayman, the Oilers have to be all-in.

Swayman is only 26, and he’s a proven NHL goaltender, which would do the Oilers a world of good, as they’re seriously only one good goaltender away from winning the Stanley Cup.

Let’s see how the situation develops, but it’s clear that the Oilers need to be extremely aggressive and ready for anything if they really want to solve their huge problem in front of the net.

Overtime

– They want to keep all their players, but it’s going to be very difficult.

– Too bad.

– To be continued for those interested.
