Good size. Athletic. Quick pads. Competes to make second saves. Engaged. Reliable.

Swayman generally splits the net with partner Linus Ullmark.
Through his first 22GP, Swayman posted .920 save percentage and 2.47GAA
His save percentage is top five for goalies who have played more than twenty games.
Good size. Athletic. Quick feet. Good gloves.
At times active in his crease, but his athletic ability takes over and allows him to recover effectively. Read / React is sound.
Strong focus. Always in the game. Trending #1A in time.

Contract: $3,475,000 over 1 year (Cap hit: $3,475,000)
Position scouted: Goaltender
Age when scouted: 24
Projection: #1B
Trending: Under NHL Contract
His game appears to be trending towards #1A starter ... but ... the Bruins are fortunate that they can play both their goalies and trust their game and results.
Swayman, predictably, is splitting time with Linus Ullmark to start the season.
In his first 6 starts he has a 6-0 record, a 1.49 GAA - .952 save % - and one shutout
Swayman continues to play with sound crease composure and rarely gets too active in his crease. One of his biggest strengths is his read / react game and the fact he plays between his post - which makes him big in the net.
On pace for 41 games ... trending like a goalie who could play 55 (+) if required.
Boston plays a structured team game, but having a steady, composed, netminder like Swayman makes everyone better defensively.

Projection: #1B
Trending: Under NHL Contract
A #1B / Leaning #1A in time
Still young by NHL goalie standards
Good size. Plays a compact, butterfly style. Relies heavily on sound crease composure. Plays between his posts. Rarely wanders or scrambles. Rebound control can range at times but he has strong lateral push and the flexibility to make saves moving side to side.
Focused. Trustworthy. No discernable weaknesses.
Capable of playing more games.
