Come see in a few years, Who going to pass him the puck?

With a winger like Pasta, we should be able to attrack a proper centre

 

[8thRoundPick]

So much for the Bruin discount,

" I would play for free" fraud

Do you feel this was his ceiling in terms of value? I personally think he left over a million per year on the table. I do hear ya, but I'm hoping that the idea here is that the percentage of his cap hit will continue to drop just in the first half of this contract. And, looks like his contract will be valuable to everyone at the end of the contract, since his actual paycheck will be less than the cap hit at that point.

Pasta had all the leverage here, but I think the structure here is advantage Bruins.

Hes a 13.5 Million dollar player on the open market dont be that guy

Im not hiding from what I believe. To much $

 

[Sheppy]

Anyone else just want to say f*** work and go get shit faced and steal a cop car?

 

[TD Charlie]

Under 11 would’ve been discounted, but this isn’t the type of player to nickel and dime. This deal is bang on for both parties.

 

[UConn126]

I am so f'in happy right now. Pasta is potentially my all time favorite Bruin. Neely, Bourque, and Bergeron are all up there (I'm not old enough to have seen any of the legends before the 90s), but Pasta is such a fun personality to have around, way moreso than most NHLers. Great player on and off the ice. Potentially my pick for the C when Bergeron retires.

jp barry strikes again.

congrats pasta, glad to have him for 8 more years.

 

[Kegs]

Awesome news.

But, its no or never season. Cap is screwed, assets are gone…

And it begins. The math guys have shown up. Get your charts ready everyone.

Evans vs hf boards math guys.


Round 1 fight !

I dunno. Tavares and Pasta basically make the same...
Only Pasta is gonna make this for 8 more years of cap hikes!

It's a discount

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Can't believe some fans were actually worried about Pasta going to free agency.

That said, that's a lot of dough for a winger.

This guy gets it. 100% a a great deal. 12M would have been very fair for the Bs/Pasta. 11.25 is awesome, and will seem really low a few years from now when comparing it to what other stars will be signing for when their re-signings come around.

 

[Trizz617]

What a friggin day! Someone pinch me! LFG!

 

[Kegs]

What is happening !!!!!!!

F**k it, add Reaves and Middleton next

Reaves would have a fantastic view from the press box. We could get him some pom poms.

 

[Ladyfan]

This is fantastic news. You rock Don S.

Thanks Pasta. I know you could have gotten more

I am very happy!!!

 

[13Hockey]

Evan gold will figure out the cap next year

Not worried

He’s the best

For those talking discount - Pasta just left probably $10 mil on the table on his last extension. Easily could've been a 8-9 mil/ year player for the past six years. He front loaded his discount.

McAvoy didn't give a hometown discount either, were people critical of him when he re-signed?

He did have all the leverage and he took it. I guess I was spoiled by the great one's Bergy and Brad team first guys.

He's the look at me new aged NHL player.

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Is that really his nickname?

Yes. I said it once before and I'll say it again, the man has been LAYING PIPE. Big dong Don

Every single day of my adult life sir.

 

[rfournier103]

I’ve talked some shit about Don Sweeney and Cam Neely in the past.

I’m officially taking back anything negative I’ve ever said about them. Today begins a clean slate and a new chapter.

I’m sorry, guys.

Thank you for your hard work.
