The Bruins and captain Patrice Bergeron have agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal to keep him in Boston for his 19th season, the team announced Monday.
Bergeron can earn another $2.5 million through performance-based incentives.
Boston wasn't done, as the team also announced it signed center David Krejci to a one-year, $1 million deal that features an additional $2 million in performance-based bonuses.
The Bergeron deal came as no surprise, as he has spent his entire career with the Bruins, helping the franchise win the Stanley Cup in 2011. However, there was some speculation about Bergeron's future in Boston as he made it clear in September that he would wait until after the 2021-22 campaign to decide his fate.
