Player Discussion Mark Kastelic (signs extension Jan 3 | 3yrs, $1.57M/yr)

Yeah, we won't know the true worth of that deal until we see what becomes of Dean Letourneau. It is working out well for the Bruins so far. Korpi has been a good backup at a fair price with the salary retention, and Kastelic is a win.

Yes ,I agree that this trade can't be fully judged yet.I have had some say good things and another poster bad things about Dean.I don't get to see him play so I ask those that see him live.

 

[DominicT]

Those are weird odd numbers.

 

[ODAAT]

great to have arguably our most consistently hardest working player on board for another 3 years

Or what the Korpisalo return will be

 

[CrownofThornton]

One of the bright spots on the season! Can’t be unhappy about this one.

So you expect the Bruins to trade him on at some point?

I don't think he finishes his contact in Boston.

Hi, Dom. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Still seems goofy for people to say the guy signed a contract ending in a dollar. Would make more sense to say he signed a $4.7M deal, and leave the rounding alone. They could then do whatever they like with the .33 cents on the per annum figure. Again, I appreciate your time and the explanation.

Don't forget when the Bruins announced the deal as $1.567 million per year.

Excellent and much better player over 3rd line centre playing tonight

 

[bruins19]

Setting a good example. I hope it is contagious.

Hope he's alright and takes the time he needs to come back with a clear head and a jump in his step.

I think most of the damage was caused by the cross-check to the head! If you watch the fight he didn't have nearly the coordination from the get go that he usually does.
