Guilt Trip said:Well he certainly didn't take less to keep the gang together.
But he's not a UFA. You're not trying to convince him to come to your team if he hit the market. I'd say he got a fair contract but there's no great discount there.Nik said:Guilt Trip said:Well he certainly didn't take less to keep the gang together.
I mean...he almost certainly did, right? If he continues his pace he'll put up like a 57 goal, 110 point season or thereabouts. Some team would probably have offered him 12 or more per as a UFA.

He would have been in a few months. He was basically negotiating as one.
He took a small discount, but I think we can attribute that to being able to get the extra year on his deal more than anything else. He probably would have been in the $12M-$12.5M range as a UFA.
Yup considering the longest contract he can sign is 7 years with another team. 7 x 12.5 = 87M. 7 x 13M = 91M. He gets his money.bustaheims said:Guilt Trip said:But he's not a UFA.

I don't think it's an either/or. It's pretty unlikely that the Bruins would have walked away from him at 12 or 12.5 and likewise it seems equally unlikely that a massive motivating factor in Pastrnak's decision making was being able to guarantee himself 90 million vs. 84-87 million when he's young enough that he still could be signing a legitimately lucrative deal 7 years from now.
