What’s your intel saying about how this entire Swayman scenario goes to get discovered in Boston?”
Dreger: “Effectively, you’re at all times, , you’re at all times a methods aside till you’re not. And that may shift in a short time , with a telephone name.
I, I believe that Jeremy Swayman has performed this out completely. , he hasn’t crawled right into a gap someplace and skilled by himself. Now he he stayed in Boston and skated along with his teammates and made certain that everybody there knew that he’s dedicated to being the Boston Bruins beginning goaltender. The way in which he left the season, he desires to begin this yr, and for him, the main target is on being nearly as good as he might be. And he was fairly good final yr, wasn’t he for Boston?
However, , he’s assured they’re going to get that deal performed. I’ve learn a number of the numbers, and I, from Boston’s place, with all due respect to Jeremy Swayman, yeah, he’s going to be their starter. I imply, they’ve acquired Joonas Korpisalo backing him up, and , that isn’t going to offer anybody who wears the Bruins colours a complete lot of confidence if you take a look at what he wasn’t in a position to do with the Ottawa Senators.
However when, if you take a look at the resume of Jeremy Swayman, he hasn’t performed a ton within the Nationwide Hockey League. So I believe Boston is slightly reluctant to offer him the mega bucks.
, I’ve seen that, , he’s in search of one thing within the neighborhood of Charlie McAvoy at, at $9.5 (million), however I additionally learn feedback from Cam Neely, not that way back, who confidently said they’re going to get it performed.
So was that assured assertion, realizing the place the negotiate, negotiation is, or is that placing little warmth on Don Sweeney, the overall supervisor to get one thing performed?
What we all know is that, , particularly groups which might be contending groups and Boston, is that you would be able to’t afford to have your primary goaltender sitting within the weeds to begin the season and blown off the primary 10 video games of the season.

So I believe you’re going to get one thing performed. I believe it’s nearer, I’m not saying it’s imminent, however I do suppose that the negotiations most likely nearer than what we’re studying about.”
