00:00We should get to Cam Neely.

00:01I agree.

00:02He spoke last hour.

00:03Is he still talking now?

00:04Uh, no, I think they're finally done, but yeah, it started at 11.

00:08So they were talking for a long time and he was ranting and raving for like a good hour.

00:11Yeah.

00:12We first saw pop up.

00:13And so Jim Montgomery, Don Sweeney, Cam Neely and Charlie Jacobs were all there.

00:16It's sort of like the start of the season press conference because the regular seasons

00:20here before you know it.

00:21And you know, we were talking about it off the air.

00:23We're like, oh, these guys are talking like, you know, I wonder what they're getting into.

00:26It's like, oh, well they just made some cuts.

00:28We're like Fabian Liesel, Mark McLaughlin, like a bunch of other guys you've probably

00:32never heard of.

00:33Providence.

00:34Right.

00:35What do we care about?

00:36Like, okay, that's fine.

00:37Uh, but obviously Jeremy Swayman is going to be a point of discussion and not only did

00:40they address it, but they got into way more detail than I can remember.

00:45Any GM president talking about a specific ongoing negotiation.

00:50Yeah.

00:51My memory's poor, but is this the most specific ever they've that somebody has been when a

00:56deal has not been finalized yet?

00:57It's up there.

00:58It's up there.

00:59Like real numbers.

01:00Naming names.

01:01Let's hear Cam Neely ranting and raving last hour on Jeremy Swayman.

01:04Since you say you're a surprise cam, can you share any of the specifics here?

01:08Be it, uh, what his ask is in terms of dollars or term?

01:12Um, well, I don't want to get into the weeds with what his ask is, but I know that I, I

01:18have 64 million reasons why I'd be playing right now.

01:21Oh, no.

01:23Whoa.

01:2464 million reasons.

01:27So they offered him 64 million over eight years, 32 minutes.

01:31Oh no.

01:32But I know that I, I have 64 million reasons why I'd be playing right now.

01:37I love it.

01:38He's like, Yoki Doxus.

01:39He's like, I'm not going to get into the weeds, but 64 million.

01:41Here's the number.

01:42So he won't say what he's asking for.

01:44So I had reported, uh, or scooped 10 million.

01:48He's looking for 10 million a year based on the then podcast that Jeremy Swayman went

01:54on, uh, the shut up Mark podcast where he was talking about like the goalie market and

01:58all this other stuff.

01:59And then based on Sweeney's press conference from a week or so ago, and then based on Neely,

02:03maybe I was fed, uh, some bad information.

02:06Maybe it was like 15 million.

02:07He's certainly asking for more than nine or nine and a half, which is everybody's screaming

02:11about it.

02:12Yeah.

02:13I think 10, I heard 10 all, all, all along.

02:14I'm going to stick by it because he straight up says he's turning down eight.

02:19He's turning it down.

02:20Cause remember the other report, there's been a lot of reports on this.

02:23I'm right.

02:24So I'm wrong.

02:25But there's been a lot of reports of this.

02:26The guys that spit and chicklets, the, uh, Sweeney was mad about the communication thing,

02:30but he never addressed the other one, which was the Bruins offered 6.7 a year, I believe

02:36is what the detail is in the sixes.

02:39So he never addressed that.

02:40So I was led to believe, all right, maybe that was true.

02:42Maybe that's what they were offering, which makes sense to why Swayman's asking for 10,

02:45but now Swayman or a Neely's flat out telling you they have moved that offer up to eight

02:51per year.

02:52I have 64 million reasons why I'd be playing right now.

02:55Maybe the great throat clear of all time right there, right before the 64 million, let me

03:00hear it again.

03:01Let me hear it again.

03:02I have 64 million.

03:03That's serious.

03:04That's like an exclamation point at the beginning of the sentence is what that is.

03:07So look, uh, number one, listen to Keith on this a month ago, he said 10 million Bruins

03:14beat writers.

03:15I mean, no one nationally gives them any credit Bruins beat writers say, don't worry about

03:18it.

03:19A deal is going to get done.

03:20There's no way he's asking for 10.

03:22Well, he's turned down eight.

03:23According to cam Neely, he has said no to eight.

03:26So what do you think he's asking for?

03:28Furthermore, Keith has told you time and again, they're not close long before Don Sweeney

03:32came out and said, yeah, December 1st, December 1st, December 1st, over and over and over

03:35again.

03:36It's going to be some news soon ish.

03:37So don't, don't listen to the other beat writers.

03:39They don't know.

03:40They don't know.

03:41I mean, legitimately Kevin Paul DuPont hall of Famer.

03:42Excellent.

03:43Has to ask cam Neely what the offer is.

03:45Keith already know.

03:46So like I don't listen to them.

03:48Keith knows number one, that's the number one takeaway.

03:51Number two, my guess is I see it in the Twitch chat.

03:54My buddy is a Bruins season ticket holder.

03:56Just texted me.

03:57I'm starting to lead to the Bruins side on this.
