Player Discussion David Pastrnak X

[BsEuphoria]

I stuck to the 6 years - $6.5 million. This was always about the lockout protection. I understand it has $3 million signing bonuses in 2020 and 2022, but we'll see.

This from August 1

We're always happy for your insight Dom you genius.

One more thing I have to say, I'm actually really happy he's not our highest paid, unneeded stress on him. Should be some nice competition between him and Marchy this year tho, haha.

He really is hilarious. The Uber/NBA tweet was LOL funny.

Heard the hold up was the Bruins' FO wanted a club option to terminate the contract in the event of an overtime, playoff game holding penalty leading to a series clinching PP goal by the opponent.

Wow you were way off.

 

[Terrier]

Wow, anything below 7x7 is a win, IMO.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Maybe I have somehow missed it. But it would be neat if this poll was changed to how happy people are with the deal. I'm sure it will be a resounding "very happy", but I am interested to see if there is still some hesitancy amongst some around the boards.

Watch out for Edmonton fans in the poll however leaf fans will come to our aid. Such a good deal. Dom nailed it!

Pastrnak goes to China on Behind the B last night was hilarious

He is so goofy in an endearing way

The entire episode was excellent my favorite one ever

 

[ODAAT]

fun episode, liked the exit interview of prospects where DS mentions or asks Bjork if it felt like he was one of if not the best player out there and Bjork replies with a quick "yes"

Good point by whomever was sitting with DS where he stated to not simply defer once camp kicks off and constantly pass off to Bergy/Marchand whomever he`s playing with once he has the puck, good advice

Guess I should start watching again.

 

[ODAAT]

Episode one for me is always one of the most fun, probably because I`m missing the game so much and I`ll take anything at this point but it`s usually the episode where most of the focus is on the prospects and they covered the kids pretty well on there.

There`s a part in there where Marchand is working out in front of the prospects, you really should watch it, great lessons in there for the kids

Too cocky. Cares about himself, not the team. Time to move on.

 

[MetM]

$19.667 million for Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak for 5 years. That is pretty incredible.

Finally! We'll have space to get a 12M 4th line.

we`ll call it the Cabernet Line, heavy and hard hitting and rich

 

[BruinLVGA]

The day after and this feels even better. I am at (hockey) peace, very zen feeling. :p

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

great signing.

glad this got done... hoped for more term but can't complain as AAV is stellar.

nice job Don

 

[Dellstrom]

Agreed. I never had any doubt that he was going to sign, but it's still such a great feeling to have him back for so long, and at such a great deal. We have Marchand, Bergeron, and Pastrnak together for at least 5 years... Awesome.

I always get excited this time of year, but I'm even more excited now. The sky is really the limit with him. I remember being so high on Seguin, especially after his second year, but I honestly think that Pastrnak is so far ahead of where Seguin was at this time. Seguin's 4th year was the year he started contending for the Art Ross. I don't want to set my expectations too high but I honestly think that Pasta has the skill (and DEFINITELY the linemates) to start doing that as well. An entire year of 63-37-88 healthy and at their best is just downright scary.

 

[hrdpuk]

I'm late to the party as usual

Love the Pasta deal . My guess early on was a deal similar to Marchand's deal but in thinking about it I like this deal better too much can happen in the NHL in 8 years this gives the team more flexibility . And perhaps even more incentive for Pasta to set himself up for his next deal

[Absurdity]

Why did he accept a lowball contract?

 

[Era of Sanity]

kind of paranoia on Pastrnak's part.

Like the Bruins would ever trade a highly talented offensive young star.

Close to home and David Krecji.
