After a long, long summer of “a deal will get done, it’ll get done, be patient,” things between Jeremy Swayman’s camp and the Bruins appear to be rapidly devolving.
At the start of training camp, with Swayman absent, GM Don Sweeney avoided any direct details about the negotiations — except for defending himself against “reports” that he hadn't been returning calls.
At today’s start-of-season media availability, you knew Sweeney would be asked about it again, and you knew he would do his best to deftly dance around it (again).
That’s pretty much what happened — but Cam Neely had no issue tossing a grenade into the mix.
