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.
