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 when it comes to {dollars} or time period?

Neely: “Effectively, I don’t wish to get into the weeds with what his ask is, however I do know that I, I’ve 64 million explanation why I’d be taking part in proper now.”

Wow. In order that’s the massive story of, of the final day or so. Um, hear, I really feel just like the Bruins have type of, you already know, put themselves in a 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 believe after , the subsequent transfer is Swayman’s. I believe that he has to determine how he feels about every thing. And when you already know when this with the assertion final night time saying, mainly, we’re going to take a few days to ponder our subsequent transfer.

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

I believe, I believe the Bruins supply yesterday was, earlier than this occurred, was $62 million. I believe 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 keen to do eight occasions eight, and that’s so far as we’re keen to go.

And I nonetheless assume 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 believe he’s moved from that. And I don’t assume it’s there anymore, however I nonetheless assume it wasn’t near 7.75.

So I believe there’s nonetheless a spot right here. So primary, to ensure that this to get settled within the brief time period, any individual is absolutely going to have to alter their thoughts, both the workforce or the participant, and I didn’t have any info as of night time, morning, that we have been in that place.

The opposite factor right here is, I do imagine that Swayman thought-about the chance after this, perhaps asking for a commerce. I don’t imagine that’s occurred. However I believe, 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 seemed into it, and I used to be instructed the Bruins have been telling groups they weren’t occupied with that, and so they needed to maintain Swayman. And as Neely stated yesterday, Swayman had instructed him face-to-face he needed to be a Bruin and Neely believes it.

So I believe 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 route wage smart, and does Swayman ask for a commerce?

Like, they have been Bruins followers yesterday who have been simply fully demoralized. I don’t assume it’s over. I nonetheless assume it might probably work out. However there’s no query that sure, it was an emotional day.”
