What's the deal after the 3 years, is he still an RFA or is he UFA?
He’s still and Rfa. The B’s can also extend him in two years and up his salary which is likely what will happen.

I must say I’m really pumped about this deal. He may get crazy expensive in a couple years when the cap is expected to make a real big jump

Time after time again I get more surprised that we get to keep core players in Boston with so good deals.

Great deal! The Bruins retain Charlie pretty cheaply, but it's still decent money and he gets 3 years to show how good he really is and then renegotiate when he's in his prime. Everybody wins. Another smart play by the Don.

Excellent news! I was thinking I'd have been very happy with anything below $6mill, bracing for something north of that, maybe even way north, and Sweeney brings him in at just under $5mill! The term is shorter than I would have liked, but I think this is fair for everyone.

He has the makings of a franchise D-man, but he's not there just yet, so why pay him like he is already? In three years, he'll either be that – a consistent, dependable, impact #1 D-man – or he'll be something less, and he'll get paid accordingly. If the rest of the league approached contracts this way, we'd have a much more reasonable salary landscape, imo.
