Eight year deal now lets lock up Patrice
I'm sure he's the next one on the block to re-sign. Pay this man whatever he wants ... he's a definite keeper and the future of this franchise. I just hope he can stay healthy!!!
GOOOOO B's!!!!!
Yeah the head injuries are worrisome, not sure much can be done about that. There is no next generation helmet that I am aware of.
The Rask deal intrigues me, last years draft the Bs grabbed Malcom Subban and refused to include him in a trade earlier this year. I can't imagine they plan to keep him in the minors or a back up for eight years. No doubt we are covered as far as net minders go, just wonder what the future holds for Malcolm
As much as I like this Tuuka. I do not think they needed to go all in on him. I am of the belief that the Bruins style of hockey makes goalies look good. They clear out the front very well and are as sound defensively as any team in the league.
That being said I am happy that he is signed long term. 7 mill per hit cap is tough but then again that is what the going rate is more or less for a full time starter.
As far as Bergy goes. I bet they are trying to get a home town discount with him. He has only known Boston as a pro and by all accounts loves playing here. If they dont get him under contract soon we could lose him. He is my favorite Bruin so I hope that gets done real soon. the longer it drags out the worse it will get.
Malcom has to be trade bait in the very near future. No need to have a talented tender sitting in the AHL.
Playing in Providence is what's in the immediate future for Subban. Trade is a possibility but he's not moving ahead of Rask or Khudobin for at least a season, probably more. Goaltending is this team'sYeah the head injuries are worrisome, not sure much can be done about that. There is no next generation helmet that I am aware of.

strong suit.

Khudobin is gone. I believe he signed with Carolina.
Not sure whether I missed that or just forgot it.Khudobin is gone. I believe he signed with Carolina.
Being as good as Rask is NOT going to be easy.I suspect another year in Providence would be best but if he is as good as advertised he could easily be as good as Rask or Khudobin. The trade that might make sense is Khudobin next offseason. Teams will see him through out the regular season in NHL games. This of course depends on how good Subban looks in Providence.

It improves Subban's chances either way.

Let's just say I don't have the highest opinion of the people who were knocking Rask
during the playoffs.
With Rask around we can give Subban as much time as he needs, assuming Rask stays healthy.
Have to disagree about the importance of re-signing Rask.As much as I like this Tuuka. I do not think they needed to go all in on him.

That, to me, was PRIORITY ONE this off-season. Without him we don't get past Pittsburgh,
let alone stretch the Final out as long as we did.
Bergeron, who I read just a few minutes ago has been resigned, was the second on my personal list.
Tell that to some of the posters over at espn.go.com.It's ok to disagree. Bergy is signed and all is well in Bruins land.

Probably the thing I missed least about that site is how quick some people there were to take disagreement as personal insults.
