I found this really interesting. I did not know the rules about players who are restricted free agents, and what the compensation is if he chooses to leave the Bruins. Well now I know....
"However, if the 21-year-old Kessel does sign one of those Group 2 offer sheets, the Bruins, if they were to decide not to match the offer and keep Kessel for a minimum of one year, would be due compensation. According to the CBA, if the offer is between $3 million and $4,520,150, the Bruins would receive a first- and third-round draft pick. If the offer is between $4.52 million and $6 million, compensation would be a first-, second- and a third-round pick (Boston.com)."
So at least we know if he walks the Bruins will get some nice draft picks in return...
