David Pastrnak has signed a new £75million ($90m) eight-year deal with the Boston Bruins, making him the most-paid player in franchise history.
The 26-year-old has been exceptional for the Bruins since being drafted 25th overall back in 2014, and with 40 goals already this season he is leading their Stanley Cup charge. The £75m deal sees him move sixth on the all-time list for largest NHL contracts, and he's improved his yearly salary by $4.5m.
Pastrnak signed a £34m six-year deal back in 2017, but with his current contract coming to an end, a new agreement was a major priority for the Bruins. They've now secured their man long-term, on the same day they acquired Tyler Bertuzzi from Detroit Red Wings.
