In the same way, it was business that Gross fired back and just about called Neely, the head cheese and Hockey Hall of Famer, a liar. It was business that Gross declared he will take a few days to regroup, thus signaling returning swiftly to the negotiating table is not something he wishes to do.

After Cam Neely's comments about the negotiations – and Swayman's agent calling Neely a liar – Brad Marchand says players remain focused knowing it's 'part of the business.'

Swayman is confident, competitive, temperamental — and sensitive. How he sees the Bruins' actions will determine the stalemate's conclusion.

The contract standoff between the Boston Bruins and restricted free agent Jeremy Swayman, 25, reached a new level of contentiousness Monday, when the goaltender's agent emphatically pushed back on what the franchise claimed it had offered him.

"We are extremely disappointed. This was not fair to Jeremy. We will take a few days to discuss where we go from here.” The post Jeremy Swayman’s agent releases statement, says $64 million offer was not initially presented appeared first on Boston.
