Patrice Bergeron will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. But CSN's Joe Haggerty tweets that there are "indications" the Bruins and Bergeron will begin talking about an extension before the season begins.
Bergeron might not light up the stat sheet but he does all the little thing that get taken for granted. He is great on the penalty kill, he back checks really well, and is an overall good play maker. The Bruins will likely want to extend his deal and lower his cap hit, which as it stands now is $4.75 million, which is too much. This could be one of the ways the Bruins get under the cap before Savard and Sturm return. We don't know when Savard will return, but Sturm will likely be back by December, so the Bruins will have to make a move by then.
