Let's see where he actually finishes.
Watching him, though, he doesn't seem flukey. NHL defensemen are really having trouble handling him. And he appears to have great hands.

Yeah I don't think he's a fluke either, just a late bloomer who has worked hard to get where he is. It will be interesting to see how the season goes for him.
I’d probably say 3rd even with Marchand starting slow. Still the point still stands. He is really playing a critical role. I definitely think he’ll keep his offensive pace if they keep him in the middle 6 with pp time. I love the way he controls the play in the o zone particularly down low. His skating seems to be drastically improved. He’s still going to be the last man back but he seems to be closing the gap a bit. His crossover in particular is vastly improved and it’s noticeable.
I think he could actually go much higher if he can continue to improve his skating.

It's very hard to fake being a human tree, with soft hands.
I'd really want 5 years if it was on the table. His best years.

The problem is he'll be a 27 year old UFA at the end of the year. UFA's get market value. They will need to sign him early to prevent teams from jumping on him this summer.
Who are some breakout-at-26 types that signed recently? They'd be the comps.
Edit: Maybe Dakota Joshua's $3.25m for 4 years.

Look at the faith Sweeney had in him, when he did.
I think you'll see we'll get him, under market

Count down ...
He keeps improving. He's a keeper and just what the B's need
IMO I do think it is better. He'll never be a speedster but he doesn't struggle to keep up, either.

4 years/$8M seems fair. he gets security and rewards the bruins for giving him his chance.

I don't think he has the track record to get 3+ on the open market
2 with term makes a lot of sense
Zacha -- Coyle -- Brazeau
If this trio finds some succes, its the new 700 pound Line

Why all the fuss about Justin Brazeau? I mean, he's a good story and all, and we're all pulling for him as we do all underdogs, but he has one less point and only one more goal than Danton Heinen.
To get Heinens production from him at his size, plus we got him for free? What's not to like?
Plus he's been a clear positive on a team playing like the Boston Bums. Imagine if his teammates were playing well...
He also has less NHL experience than Heinen.

Put this man on PP 1
Get the puck to the net and let him do his thing.
Kind of like how Knies made Carlo look brutal on all those Leafs PP goals last night.

carlo is a joke. He had another brutal game last night. If Peeke didnt get injured we probnably win that game last night.

He is one of the few positives about this lackluster team!
It’s a shame that he’s been the biggest bright spot of this entire team so far.
