His performance was lacklustre, granted. The Boston Bruins stand a better chance of winning if he whiffs on less pucks and if he puts decent shots on Jordan Binnnington, yes. But trading a 23 year-old David Pastrnak, on an incredibly team-friendly contract, that’s a ludicrous thought and shouldn’t be crossing any fan’s mind!
David Pastrnak has cracked 80 points the past two seasons for the Boston Bruins and he’ll likely be doing so for the next four seasons. All for a very low cap hit of $6.6 million. You only need look at the deal that’s just been dished out to Jeff Skinner to realise what a great deal this is.
