Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe: David Pastrnak’s camp said Tuesday night in an email that they have recently talked about an eight-year contract with the Boston Bruins.
“We are now discussing an eight-year max term to see if we can find some common ground,” wrote J.P. Barry, the long-time agent from Toronto, responding to a Globe request to comment on the talks.
Sources are saying the Bruins offered Pastrnak the option of six or seven years at $6 million a season early this offseason.
If the Bruins went to eight years, it would likely have to be for more than $6 million – a middle ground between $6 million and the $8.
