The Boston Bruins have secured David Pastrnak for the long term with an impressive eight-year contract extension worth $90 million. This extension, averaging $11.25 million per year, solidifies Pastrnak’s status as a key player in the NHL.
Pastrnak’s exceptional performance this season, with 42 goals and 80 points in 60 games, places him among the league’s top offensive talents, trailing only Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Nikita Kucherov in scoring. Leading the Bruins in multiple categories, including power-play goals and points, Pastrnak continues to demonstrate his value on the ice. Having spent his entire nine-year NHL career with the Bruins since being drafted in 2014, Pastrnak’s consistent contributions have been evident through his impressive goal and assist records. With his current pace, Pastrnak is poised to surpass his career-high goal count and potentially reach the coveted 50-goal mark for the first time. Previously seen as a bargain with his former contract, Pastrnak’s new deal reflects his growing stature as one of the league’s premier players.
