Rask vs. Reward: Does the performance match the pay?

Related Topics: Tuukka Rask, Match, Performance

Let me ask you a $56 million-dollar question, since Tuukka Rask signed his 8-year, $7 million dollar per season contract extension in 2013, how has he performed? A tough question, so let me make it easier for you, if you had to rank him, would he be “Elite”, “Above Average”, “Average”, “Below Average” or “Poor”. Easy enough?

If you’ve tuned into local sports talk radio or nightly sports programming over the last half decade, the talking heads in this town will loudly insist the Bruins longtime netminder is overpaid, not worth the contract, a choker or any combination of incendiary descriptors.
