So if true there are 2 options for his deal I can see..
3 years or 7 years. Nothing else makes sense.

I read that he wanted a long term deal but the Bruins wanted a short term, cheap bridge contract that fit into their 'salary structure'. I think BT will have no problem getting him to sign for 6 or 7 years if they can make the dollars work. Too bad we can't get him for 8 years, I would definitely settle for 6 or 7 though (I believe 7 would officially be the longest contract in club history).
