[PromisedLand]

I really hate you boston. always signing players to cheap deals

screw you pasta's agent. should have gone for like 14 AAV or something

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

lol they're paying him almost as much as McJesus.

welcome to cap hell in 2 years Boston.

It just takes a quick skim of their cap situation to know this isn't true.

 

[dredeye]

Okay you have me convinced that people who get paid 10 million+ per year for chasing abit of rubber are not overpaid.

Good job not putting anything into perspective. Guys making league minimum make more in a season than most of us could ever dream of but that's not how you judge contracts. I hate to tell you but if you this this is overpaid you should look at some basketball or baseball contracts. Your mind will explode

NHL makes money, money = good. Players who draw in the money get some of it cause money = good

MacK just upped for 12.6, you think pasta is worth more?

 

[The don godfather]

Future hall of fame for sure hes just too good.

 

[Jojalu]

Can't say I am Bruins fan by any means but I do like Pasta and I always like seeing players stay with an organization.

 

[Canovin]

No. When are Marchand and Bergeron done? Does the 1st line retire together? You think Pasta doesnt face top competition? Your post isnt complicated, its dumb, and shows basic lack of knowledge of the Bruins situation

This year or the next for Bergeron.
2 years for Krecji
3 years for Marchand

I like to see how Pasta will be worth 11.5M when these guys are gone

What are your thoughts on billionaire owners?

Huh? This contract is fair. It's not a steal, it's right about what he's worth. Top tier player and is finally paid like one.

 

[kihei]

“I’d play for free”

For sure. But I guess if someone offered you 11.25 million a year you might prefer that.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Overpaid, especially for the recession that is coming......

Well, yes, as in, it won’t take two years, the cap hell is coming this post-season. Some tough decisions ahead.

 

[pld459666]

Without question Pasta is better than Goudreau! And somehow I just knew Pasta wasn't going to bounce as a UFA and leave an extremely good situation he's in with the Bruins! He's paid appropriately for what he brings to the B's and for being one of the top players in the league !!

I agree 100%

No doubt he was gonna stay

Mack's career average: 0.38 gpg 1.05 ppg
Pastrnak's career average: 0.49gpg 1.03 ppg

Pastrnak is arguably worth more. They are at the very least the approximate same tier.

 

[Zerotonine]

Fair, market value deal for one of the best wingers in the NHL.

Marner and Rantanen licking their chops for what is waiting for them in two years.

You spelt Draisaitl wrong

 

[Gifu]

Mack's career average: 0.38 gpg 1.05 ppg
Pastrnak's career average: 0.49gpg 1.03 ppg

Pastrnak is arguably worth more. They are at the very least the approximate same tier.

The center is a much more important position than the winger.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

The center is a much more important position than the winger.

Ovechkin and Crosby always made about the same amount of money...

welcome to cap hell in 2 years Boston.

it's what everyone says every year about some team with some big signing.

what's your alternative plan, let him walk in free agency for zero return and watch some other team sign him for that or more and listen to you bitch about that teams cap 'hell' in 2 years?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Would take him on my team at that contract in a nanosecond.

 

[DangleCity]

This year or the next for Bergeron.
2 years for Krecji
3 years for Marchand

I like to see how Pasta will be worth 11.5M when these guys are gone

Considering he doesnt play with Bergeron and Marchand and didn't have Krejci last season... I think he'll be more than worth it

People have been predicting Cap Hell and/or the demise of the Bruins for the last decade. How'd that work out for them? You'd be smart to learn from their mistakes.

In fairness, Mack had an oddly slow start to his career. I think that anyone locking up their guys now before the cap starts going way up are lucky as these contract will look like steals by the time Matthews/McDavid/Drai get their new deals.

 

[Bfan14]

Pasta 13.64%CH
Rantenen 11.35%CH

How do you know his cap % when you don't even know the Cap next year?

Also Pasta > Rantanen
