The Boston Bruins had a huge decision to make on the future of Jeremy Swayman, and now it appears they're moving forward towards a huge extension.

Last off-season, the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman went to arbitration, and while they come out of it with a one-year deal, neither side was likely a fan of the process. Swayman came into it with a $4.8 million number in mind while the Bruins were at $2 million, and after coming to a price at $3.5 million, it's likely something neither party would want to do again.

Now, they both had a decision to make this off-season, and it appears they're moving in a different direction, as the Boston Bruins have officially made a decision on the situation.

Bruins have elected not to file for arbitration

With this decision, both parties have officially elected against arbitration, and given that the team moved Linus Ullmark this off-season, it's clear moving forward that they both want to make a deal happen. At 25-years of age, the future is incredibly bright for Swayman, and if they play their cards right, there is a deal that benefits the Bruins and Swayman that could make him among the highest paid goaltenders in the NHL.
