Whispers of a seismic shift in the NHL goaltending landscape are echoing through the league, with rumors suggesting that the Anaheim Ducks and Boston Bruins are engaged in serious discussions surrounding a blockbuster trade centered around Jeremy Swayman and John Gibson.
The Bruins, who applauded Jeremy Swayman’s performance last season, are reportedly hesitant to commit significant term and salary to Swayman. The Ducks, on the other hand, view Swayman as a cornerstone piece in their accelerating rebuild.
NHL Trade Rumors: Bruins and Ducks Discussing Potential Blockbuster
The rumored trade package would see Swayman heading to Anaheim, with the Bruins receiving veteran John Gibson and a coveted 2025 first-round draft pick.
Gibson, a stalwart in the Anaheim crease for years, has been the subject of trade speculation for over a year. With two seasons remaining on his contract, he presents an appealing option for the Bruins, offering stability and experience between the pipes. Gibson’s track record suggests he could thrive in the Bruins’ structured defensive system.
For the Ducks, acquiring Swayman represents a calculated gamble. They’re banking on his potential to blossom into a franchise goaltender, anchoring their young core for years to come. Anaheim’s roster, bursting with talent like Trevor Zegras, Leo Carlsson, and Cutter Gauthier, is on the cusp of playoff contention. Securing Swayman’s services could be the catalyst that propels them into the postseason, potentially as early as next season.
The inclusion of a 2025 first-round pick underscores the Ducks’ determination to land Swayman. Surrendering such a valuable asset signals their belief in his ability to be their long-term solution in net.
As the start of the NHL season looms, the hockey world eagerly awaits the outcome of these talks. The Swayman-Gibson swap could reshape the goaltending landscape and significantly impact both franchises’ trajectories for years to come. Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
