Bryan Hayes: “With Chris Johnson or TSN Hockey Insider. So, the Jeremy Swayman contract will get signed earlier than the brand new 12 months begins. He doesn’t lose a penny, proper? He will get his full no-move, no-trade, I consider, $23 million in signing bonus or no matter, however $8.25 per 12 months. So he’s underneath Hellebuyck, and I’d say that’s a Bruins win.
Like it could, it appeared to me that the Bruins held their floor and, on the final second, gave him an additional 250 a 12 months, or no matter it was, they usually compelled him to make a name. And he made a name, and he determined, I don’t actually need to miss time.

Chris Johnston: “Effectively, I used to be of the camp. I believed it was a little bit of a Swayman win. Possibly not a decisive one.

And, you recognize, the query Noodles might be there to reply. I do not know what it’s going to take for him to stand up to hurry. I imply, he was skating with Boston College there and going via his reps. However principally, that’s nowhere close to the identical degree of competitors as a NHL coaching camp or preseason video games or or issues like that.”
Jamie McLennan: “I believe it’ll take a few weeks like they, you recognize, Korpisalo can begin some video games and get them into the season. He’s received to get training with the workforce, with the goaltender coach, all of that. Simply acclimate himself again with the group.”
