Dave Pagnotta: “I imply, yeah, I believe it’s the latter. Like, simply see the place issues go. See how the season performs out, after which determine issues out as soon as July hits, or near it anyway. I believe you noticed his emotion when he was speaking about in his introductory press convention with Florida. You noticed the emotion that got here out of him when he began to reminisce and type of circle again on negotiations and his time in Boston and all of that. That was his house. I imply, that was his NHL house. He wished to be there long-term. He wished to be a Bruin for all times. And clearly it didn’t occur.
I believe there’s in all probability, if he does hit July 1st, they’d circle again. However I don’t know if it modifications Boston’s positioning to the place the {dollars} had been. I imply, they had been a three-year deal. We’d heard about this a short time in the past, that in the event that they had been making an attempt to determine the cash on a three-year, and it simply by no means bought there.
And it’s not like they, I do know there have been some reviews of the $3 million or no matter. I’ve by no means gotten the sense it was that. He was on the lookout for somewhat little bit of a bump, and so they weren’t prepared to offer it to him. However they weren’t going like they weren’t insulting him from that perspective. They had been nonetheless prepared to offer him a aggressive deal. It simply didn’t match up together with his numbers, there was nonetheless a big hole.
And I believe lots of people can actually make the argument that he took a really workforce pleasant contract when he signed his take care of Boston. He wished to be rewarded in some style, and it simply didn’t work out. So we’ll see what occurs with Florida, and the way issues play out the remainder of the season.
