What you have for breakfast ? A plate full of crack ?Bruins are firmly in a playoff spot 2 pts out of division lead and will get guys back and probably get a little help via Chia.I think you need to relax.Bergeron is the heart of the whole organization.Even when he not playing his best he still better then most them.
Home discount... In the case of Bergeron, i couldn't careless about his willingness to give us and home discount or not. The guy deserved every penny of his contract. By far our best and consistent forward for years. Don't insult the guy by asking him to give an home discount especially when Kelly/Peverly are earning 3 per and Lucic 6 per. It's not because Chiarelli overpaid for some players that Bergeron should pick up the tab...
No chance.
Try 7. And thats Patrice being nice.
Like all Bruins fans I love Bergeron but I care about the Bruins getting a good deal. I always do. I wish Lucic would have given a hometown discount but he didn't that doesn't mean I hope Bergeron doesn't give one. It is always still a negotiation, you think Chiarelli is going to hand him a blank cheque and not care, the cap is going to get tight I am a Bruins fan first, if that means one less fancy car for their top players that is fine with me.
Between 6M and 6.5M is my guess.
Bergeron himself said he wanted to be a Bruins for life.
Guy's overrated. So what if he's our best defensive player while also the leading scorer?
Also heard he doesn't pick up after himself. And snores on the plane.
There's no amount of money that we wouldn't give Bergy. If he ever left, it would hurt FAR more than any salary he could get...
We would overpay him like hell, and knowing him, he won't demand overpayment. 6-6.5 long-term is my guess, and he'd deserve every penny. He's our best forward, probably will be for a while, arguably the best two-way player in the game, and our future captain. If there's anyone on the Bruins who's staying here for his whole career, it's him or no one.
If he wanted to leave, it's up to him, but why the hell would he? He plays on a team that is contending now and will be contending for quite a while, and he's one of the centerpieces. He's also idolized here by everyone, and he loves the city and it's fans.
Wow.If the Bruins keep playing like this, I would move him to a contender at the trade deadline.
Wow.
I'd say you are trolling. Thing is, you really believe this.
Can tell you this: If money is the problem, Chiarelli will move a contract instead of letting Bergeron go. Bergeron is the heart and soul of the team and he's everything a team can ask from a player: commitment, professionnalism and work ethic. If you think for one second that the Bruins will let Bergeron walk away, you're not watching enough Bruins's games. When i look at Lucic and his 6 per salary and look at Bergeron and his 5 per, well... something is wrong, VERY wrong. That's what happen when you overpay for a player in his 2nd contract: you are painted in the corner for the 3rd one.
