Jeremy Swayman is a very happy -- and a very rich -- man after signing an eight-year extension with the Boston Bruins on Sunday morning.

But six days late he signed. They’re united for the next eight years and the Bruins need Swayman to be the goalie he believes he is. He thought he should be paid like an elite goalie. They need him to belong in the comp group — Connor Hellebuyck, Sergei Bobrovsky etc. — he already sees himself in.
