Pastrnak is 26 years old, just entering his prime. The contract will run him through his age 34 season (when he should still be a good goal scorer). He's a monster offensive player.
Love it.
QFTAdded to that, for the next two seasons after this, they also have Carlo, and Marchand, who aren’t nothing.
Next year, you start with a team that’s a lot in place, even without depending on Bergeron/Krejci.

I think he's counting on the recruiting edge that defending champs enjoy...Alright, Sweeney. You did your job for 22-23. You've put a great team on the ice for this season and signed your biggest asset long term. Take a month off, because when this season is over you are going to have some SERIOUS work to do putting together next year's squad.
Absolutely. But just looking at capfriendly, the raw numbers for next year look grim (and honestly, I don't even care right now.... finish the season then worry about it). And I'm not even saying it as a bad thing, just that it's hard not to see some names moving out over the summer. 2 years out there will be more space, and the Pastrnak contract will start looking better and better.I think he's counting on the recruiting edge that defending champs enjoy...
You sound like my wife.I actually have a huge problem with this deal.
I wish it was longer!
I was going to say, it seems more like a personal problem than it is related to this deal.You sound like my wife.
For you, the length isn't a problem, it's the girth.You sound like my wife.
Blank page? We being played?
I heard that he actually signed the contract last night at home. They just asked him to come in today to draw a horse.Blank page? We being played?

Maybe only a little less creepy, I couldn't shake the sense that Pastrnak was really going for the disheveled graduate student look.Anyone see the Netflix show on Dahmer? He kinda looks like him with those glasses
If this was a game thread it would be Prom Night!I actually have a huge problem with this deal.
