Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Boston has a very structured penalty killing unit. They ended the regular season with one of the top units in the entire league - killing off an average of 82.5% when a man short.

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.

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.
