Player Discussion David Pastrnak XIII -Report, Extension to be announced Today!

[UncleRico]

Remember when fans were saying dont sign him for anything more than McAvoy lol

 

[danpantz]

I dunno, I feel like this is a real leak. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

No one has come out and outright denied anything yet either. Just a “haven’t heard anything”

 

[Gee Wally]

I wonder if the league offices are even open today and tomorrow.

 

[UncleRico]

So if the rumors are true of Pastrnak at $11m that will take the cap down to $8,937,500 (with the bergy and krejci bonuses included at $4.5m total).

So the B's will have approximately $8,937,500 to fill:

1c, 2c, 3LW, 3RW, 4LW, 4c, 4RW, 3rd pairing RD, swayman.

No way around it, Bruins will have to move some money out this offseason. The question will be is freeing up $6.8m by moving Reilly and Gryz going to be enough? Moving those two will give the Bruins $15.6m in cap space, but also create two more spots to fill (Lohrei and a cheap veteran around $1.5m maybe?)

I dont know, but expect a crazy offseason like we havent seen for the Bruins in a while.

Rich Keefe isn't going just toss something like this out there. He used to work at both 98.5 and WEEI

@4ORRBRUIN will absolutely hate this, if true. He will shoot this down as a disaster.

Nope, will see how it goes

I was just messaging you on twitter lol.

Offices closed today. Made my call and straight to voicemail so I can't tell you if/when it drops.

Don't know about tomorrow

 

[Dellstrom]

Hope its true. Pay the man.

thanks!

 

[DominicT]

thanks!

BTW that doesn't mean they can't announce it today. It just can't officially be filed today.

 

[Alicat]

Rich Keefe??? LOLOLOLOL.

The guy is connected from his work at both stations. Guy isn’t going to torch his career lying about something.

We shall see what happens.

I know….but lets say I feel better once filed only because whether they announce or not….it comes out.

 

[danpantz]

Who even knows anymore

That’s a great point. You’re putting a lot on the line here for your credibility since he’s not known for anything like this.

Hopefully it’s true. Give me Pastrnak for 8 years!!

If there is anyone I want to be wrong on this? It’s this f***head.

Someone is right, and someone is wrong. Always the case when it comes to these things. But I can guarantee you that there are a lot of people out there who saw the original tweet and now have "sources of their own".

My DM's on Twitter are full of messages asking about other's tweets. I chose not to respond because I don't know. But I take them all with a grain of salt when I don't.

[danpantz]

Here we go, an actual answer with a quote from someone who might know

That’s disappointing though

 

[danpantz]

If Keefe dropped that to create buzz for his new show he’s an absolute clown

He’s an absolute clown lmao

 

[Gee Wally]

Not the way I wanted to start ‘23.

Consider the job of an agent. Could 100% be posturing for a last little squeeze - I mean that’s what they are paid to do.

Add in the league is closed so it can't be filed.

The fact is that conversations have been frequent and been happening over the entire weekend is fantastic news.

This is going to be an epidemic across much of the NHL with the cap remaining relatively stagnant over the past few years.

 

[LouJersey]

At the end of the day when the agent presents the offers to Pasta he will take the Bruins as long as the different is within reason

 

[Over the volcano]

Sure we’ve probably been through this already but open market what do you think he’d pull in? I’d figure 12mil but total spitballing
