They have cap room in place and the kid is a local folk hero in Boston after this playoff run.

How many players after arbitration are offered 8 year contracts that give them generational wealth.

The Bruins were in an utter difficult spot last year with cap room. They are not this year. They also chose NOT to do a 2 year arbitration number to preserve the relationship and upside.

If things were dire, why did Sweeney refuse to even discuss it?

Can’t wait for this to be signed now that he has proven himself in the playoffs (which was the one open item).

Then we can discuss what we’d need to add to Ullmark to get Mercer?

Fun game tonight to watch. Nice having the great goalie in net

I can understand why you want him. Not available.

Bruins looking good. I don’t think FLA will be this easy though.

Neither do I, but that’s 5 in a row against them and I kind of feel Boston is being underestimated. We’re closely matched
