"Milan Lucic, the Bruins' popular and bruising third-year forward, has agreed to a three-year extension with the club through the 2012-13 season, according to the team. According to TSN, the deal is worth $12.25 million, giving Lucic a $4,083,333 annual cap hit. Lucic will still be a restricted free agent at the end of the contract.
"I'm not surprised," said one agent. "I thought it would be between $4 and $4.5. He brings intangibles far beyond his numbers."
Lucic and Chiarelli will hold a press conference to discuss the deal immediately following the team’s 10:30 a.m. practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington tomorrow (Boston.com)."
Nice move by the Bruins, and I doubt that this will be the last guy who gets an extension. Savard will be coming off the books after this season, so it will be interesting to see if the Bruins resign him, or choose to reup a lot of these young guys. Either way you have to love Lucic and I just can't picture him playing for any other team then Boston...
