Matt Marchese: “That is Cam Neely speaking about, in lesser phrases, Jeremy Swayman negotiations. Right here’s, right here’s Cam Neely:

Reporter: “Because you say you have been shocked, Cam, are you able to share another specifics right here? Be it, what’s ask is by way of {dollars} or time period?

Wow. In order that’s the large story of, of the final day or so. Um, hear, I really feel just like the Bruins have type of, you realize, put themselves in a little bit little bit of a nook right here, after buying and selling Linus Ullmark. The place do issues stand with Jeremy Swayman and the Bruins and the place is that this factor heading?

Friedman: “Okay, so what I might say is that this, I feel after , the following transfer is Swayman’s. I feel that he has to determine how he feels about all the pieces. And when you realize when this with the assertion final evening saying, principally, we’re going to take a few days to ponder our subsequent transfer.

I feel primary, he has to recover from the shock of what occurred , and quantity two, determine how he needs to method it.

I feel, I feel the Bruins provide yesterday was, earlier than this occurred, was $62 million. I feel it was eight occasions $7.75 (million) and I simply imagine that now what the Bruins has stated is, all proper, we’re, $64 (million) is our quantity. We’re prepared to do eight occasions eight, and that’s so far as we’re prepared to go.

And I nonetheless suppose that, like I’ve reported a number of occasions in the course of the summer time, that I imagine Swayman’s preliminary ask was McAvoy, which is eight occasions 9.5. And I nonetheless do imagine that was his preliminary ask. However I feel he’s moved from that. And I don’t suppose it’s there anymore, however I nonetheless suppose it wasn’t near 7.75.

So I feel there’s nonetheless a spot right here. So primary, to ensure that this to get settled within the quick time period, someone is actually going to have to vary their thoughts, both the staff or the participant, and I didn’t have any data as of evening, morning, that we have been in that place.

The opposite factor right here is, I do imagine that Swayman thought of the likelihood after this, possibly asking for a commerce. I don’t imagine that’s occurred. However I feel, to me, that assertion makes it clear he’s contemplating it.

Now, I had heard a pair weeks in the past about rumors of a commerce. I appeared into it, and I used to be advised the Bruins have been telling groups they weren’t fascinated with that, they usually needed to maintain Swayman. And as Neely stated yesterday, Swayman had advised him face-to-face he needed to be a Bruin and Neely believes it.

So I feel the place we’re (Matt and Mike) is, we’re, we’re ready to see simply how Swayman decompresses from that. Does anybody transfer in both course wage sensible, and does Swayman ask for a commerce?
