Speculation: The Bruins and Jeremy Swayman are far apart in contract term (length) and dollar amount.

Highly doubtful Swayman has no idea what his agent is up to.

That seems to be a common trend with Gross.

8 mil is second line money these days, he is right about the goalies being way underpaid

Second-line center, not the wing.

Teams turn the screws on players for the first 10 years of their careers and then get weird when a player turns it around on them the first chance he gets. Neely is a fool for breaking publicly.

You might have a point if Swayman had even been in the league for ten years.

As a Bruins fan i wouldn't be surprised if a lopsided trade not favoring the B's happens. I hope I'm wrong but typically the owners don't like or play ball with players like this.

I’d agree here. Under Jeremy Jacob’s, they are not afraid to trade anyone, espiecally disgruntled players. Adam Oates publicly said how Boston was stingy and didn’t replace cam Neely etc, Boston stripped Oates of his captaincy and traded him to washington. Jacob’s doesn’t play around.

So Neely and co. lied? Shocker that

In fairness Neely never said 64 million dollars. He may have come up with several million other non- money related reasons he should play in Boston.

Boston never traded Oates to Boston . In all seriousness though, the Jacobs' clearly aren't afraid of making controversial trades. Which ultimately may or may not be a positive. We will find out in seasons to come.

Sorry, just poking a little fun at your expense... You are not wrong at all, the point still stands that Boston isn't afraid of controversial trades. Again, this could be a positive or a negative.
