Boston Bruins: Tuukka Rask contract suddenly doesn’t look so bad

From all those involved, Rask has certainly been the most successful. The present Tuukka Rask contract was signed in 2013 in the form of an eight-year extension worth $7,000,000 per year. That happened after he led the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup Final, which Boston lost in six games versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Andrei Vasilevskiy signed an eight-year contract extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. The deal carries an annual salary cap hit of $9,500,000. You simply cannot compare the Tuukka Rask contract situation with the present 24-year-old goaltender whose new deal commences next year.
