So either a long term deal or arbitration? MG will want max term on his next deal. I don't know if this is a sticky point for the Bruins.He's an RFA this summer and Bruins can qualify him
I'd think they're probably looking to extend him 5ish yearsSo either a long term deal or arbitration? MG will want max term on his next deal. I don't know if this is a sticky point for the Bruins.
Ironically, if it goes to arbitration, he'll be 27yo, Bruins can't trade him, and he'll head to UFA next season...
I'd assume he would be offered 5x5 and also realize that he has found chemistry with one of the top ten players in the NHL who is finding him in open ice.
Could be, but he has to be careful here. He was healthy scratched this very season and didn't catch fire until he was put with Pastrnak. Holding out for more than that could see him traded at his highest value and find himself on the 2nd or 3rd line on another team wondering why no one is getting him the puck the way Pastrnak did.I think he gets more than that on a 5 year deal.

Should get around the same as Sharangovich. Basically an identical season to his from last year, same age and similarly not sustainable shooting percentage too.I think he gets more than that on a 5 year deal.

Maybe bump it to 6M on a 5 year deal. He had a 22% shooting percentage though. Can't really ignore thatProbably more given that we know more about the cap will be going up.
