The Boston Bruins reportedly took a big step toward their 2010-11 success with the inking of Johnny Boychuk's contract extension. Boston reportedly has signed the emerging defensive star to a 2-year deal worth a total of $3.75 million over the two seasons. Sources say Boychuk is slated to earn $1.75 million in his first season and $2 million in his second season.
This is a huge signing for Boston, and it also helps put the flames out to some extent on the speculation about Tomas Kaberle coming to Boston. This signing gives the Bruins a solid core of defensemen locked up for this season, and bringing Kaberle may just seem like overkill at a price as high as Marc Savard. On top of that, this seems to be one of the best prices we could work for a player who was arguably our best defenseman in the second half of the season and the playoffs.
Now we just wait and count down the hours until the big draft arrives. Tomorrow night.... I can taste the transformation of this franchise!
yeeeeee boii
ReplyDeletei agree its Huge Signing! out of Mark Stuart or Johnny Boychuk, Boychuck is the One that we needed sign and we got it done! if we lose him to a Rival Team like a Flyers in July chances are he could turn out to be a Allstar. so good signing for Pete
