A major development in the Chicago Blackhawks acquiring a star from the Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins finished the 2024-2025 season 8th in the Atlantic Division, under Head Coach Joe Sacco. They'd finish the year, 33-39-10, and would begin tearing down the team to the studs.

Gone are Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo, and Trent Frederic. It appears the rumor mill is swirling around Jeremy Swayman's name, who could be next to be traded, as his holdout at the beginning of the year caused controversy and would lead to a massive $66 million deal.

Now he's failed in his first season as the starting Bruins goalie, with a whopping 22-29-7 record, and .892 save percentage.

Don Sweeney hasn't been afraid to tear apart the core before and begin anew.

Could GM Kyle Davidson weaponize their salary cap space in order to give Jeremy Swayman a fresh start here in Chicago?

The team is projected to have $30.9 million in cap space per PuckPedia. They could easily afford to shoulder the costs of the Bruins' starting goalie, who, if Sweeeny wants to clean house before his no-movement clause kicks could trade him.

The Blackhawks and Bruins are consistent trading partners, and could give the team some cushion in the net.

A Spencer Knight, Jeremy Swayman duo could push the rebuild along further, and give the team a chance to win every night.

We've seen what Swayman could do on a Presidents' Trophy-winning team, but a rebuilding team could be a monumental task for someone who is deadset on being a Bruin.
