In two full seasons in the NHL ranks, Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman has developed into one of the most promising netminders in the NHL.
But at one point, the 24-year-old Swayman thought he was going to be playing for one of the Bruins’ top rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs.
During an appearance on the “Empty Netters” Podcast last week, Swayman noted that he kept his options open while watching the 2017 NHL Draft from his home in Alaska.
“I was sitting at my breakfast table with my dad, we were four hours behind in Alaska,” Swayman said of his decision to not attend the draft in person.
