David Pastrnak's agent provides an update on contract negotiations and it's not good news for Bruins fans
David Pastrnak is the Boston Bruins best player. He's about to enter his prime, but for some reason Pasta and the Bruins have been unable to come to an agreement on a new contract. You'd think from both parties perspective they'd be motivated to get a deal done, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Before the season Pasta made it clear he wanted the situation in Boston to be a lot clearer before he committed long term. More than anything Pastrnak wants to win a Stanley Cup and he appears poised to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
Pastrnak's agent JP Barry sat down with Pierre LeBrun to discuss an extension and the news isn't overly promising for Bruins fans.
I've been in regular discussions with Don about our respective positions for a few months. We remain apart at this juncture. We will continue to negotiate.
The situation in Boston is obviously far more complex than it should be. This should be a simple situation where Boston offers Pastrnak an 8 year deal at whatever dollar amount he wants to get the deal done. But sometimes money isn't everything, this is definitely a situation to watch.
