Joe Haggerty of CSNNE: Bruins GM Don Sweeney has had some talks with RFA David Pastrnak‘s agent and things appear to be going in the right direction.
“[Pastrnak’s agent] J.P. [Barry] and I have sat down, we’ve had some good discussions,” Sweeney said to reporters in Buffalo at the combine. “It’s moving in the right direction. Timeline, I don’t have. But we expect to complete a deal and for him to be a longtime member of the Boston Bruins. That’s our intention.”
One short-term comparable could be Nikita Kucherov and his three-year, $14.
