When the Boston Bruins hired General Manager Don Sweeney, the focus was solely on building the future through the draft. Sweeney did just that by drafting three times in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft. Sweeney then focused on the main roster to try to get the team back to competitiveness for the 2015-16 campaign. That’s where Matt Beleskey comes along.
Matt Beleskey signed a five-year deal worth $19 million and a cap hit of $3.8 Million with a modified no-trade clause. For the contract that he got, I thought that was a friendly number for both the team and the player.
