Looking at David Pastrnak’s contract options

The clock is ticking until training camp starts, and the Bruins still need to sign their young superstar David Pastrnak. Without writing any more articles on how much, and for how long his contract should be, I’ll just look at the four options he has currently.

  1. Bridge deal (1-3 years)
  2. Long term deal (4-8 years)
  3. Hold out the whole year, play in the olympics
  4. Sign a deal after the season starts, which has cap implications

With reports that the Bruins want to sign Pastrnak to a 6+ year deal, and Pastrnak’s agent wanting to get a max term 8 year deal, a shorter bridge deal doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
