However after a disappointing playoffs, Boston Bruins General Manager made some drastic changes and fired Coach Bruce Cassidy and brought back former Bruin David Krejci.
One other piece of business Sweeny wanted to do was re-sign the Bruins best player David Pastrnak.
Pastrnak is a pending UFA next summer and the Bruins GM is doing everything to avoid seeing what happened to the Calgary Flames with Johnny Gaudreau, happen to Boston. However Pastrnak doesn't seem too eager to re-sign with Boston.
Pastrnak is coming off a 40 goal campaign and is one of the best value deals in the National Hockey League. A prime example of what signing a young player to a long-term deal early can do for your team down the road.
According to Andy & Rono of ARSports, Pastrnak is in no rush to considering re-signing with the Bruins. Pasta's only consideration at this time is winning a Stanley Cup, something he's unsure the Bruins can accomplish.
While there is no guarantee that Pastrnak is leaving the Bruins, there is also no guarantee he is staying either. All we know right now is, he has no interest in even discussing an extension.
