Fluto Shinzawa: The Boston Bruins have signed defenseman Brandon Carlo to a six-year contract extension worth $24.6 million – a $4.1 million salary cap hit.
“Term was always important for player and team.”
Joe Haggerty: “Great value for a hard-working young player that should be a top-4 shutdown guy for the duration of the contract”
Conor Ryan: “If Carlo says healthy, that contract presents great value for the Bruins — who lock up a top-4 D through his age-30 season.
Another note, while teams are still in a flat-cap market, the cap ceiling will inevitably rise in the coming years, making this even better value.
