The Boston Bruins are certainly committed to the newest member of their team.
Not even 24 hours after acquiring defenceman Hampus Lindholm from the Anaheim Ducks, the Bruins have decided to make the trade a little more worth it by signing the 28-year-old to an eight-year contract extension with an annual cap hit of $6.5 million.
Lindholm was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, so Boston is buying up all his free-agency years until he turns 35 years old after giving a bit of a sizeable package to get him before the NHL trade deadline on Monday.
