Brad Marchand broke the silence on the Jermey Swayman situation with the Boston Bruins

"I wouldn't say it's hard to keep it out of the room," Marchand told reporters, per Tom Calautti of Black N' Gold Productions LLC. "Even today and after, there's not a whole lot to talk about. We understand the situation the team and Sway are in. This is part of the game. It's part of the business. It's the part that nobody enjoys. Eventually, the deal is going to get done and everyone's gonna move on and be fine.

"These things are the stress and pressure of negotiations going on. When you're dealing with a term deal, once it's signed, there's so much weight that gets lifted off, not just the player's shoulder but the team. Then it's just about coming together and finding a way to win and building toward that goal. It's tough because we all care about Sway. We want to see him back. But again, it's part of the business. Sometimes guys go through it; every player goes through it at some point. To the extent in which it gets dragged on is always different, but everybody always goes through negotiations. They're never fun. It'll be over, and we'll move on."
