"So just some really clear, honest, updates," began McGuire during the interview. "Since I've been here we have had 5 meetings, either via phone or face to face with Newport Sports management and not one of them has ended in an acrimonious manner, not one of them. We're trying to negotiate, we are in a firm position and they are in a firm position, we'll see where it goes. We're gonna have another discussion with them before this week starts."
"I wouldn't say lots, I would say there's time. Training camp starts on the 22nd, we have physicals Wednesday and then they are on the ice Thursday," admitted McGuire.
