Let's see if they remember that.

With Bourque only signing a 1 year deal they can start talking about the next contract in a couple of weeks.
Thing is, the Stars' cap situation doesn't get any better next offseason. Harley is going to want to get paid and Seguin is still on the books. I don't see how Bourque (or his agent) benefits from this. He could have more than doubled his salary with in offer-sheet.
It's not like Bourque is really unproven. He played ~12 minutes per game and put up 11 goals and 14 assists. He might not be blowing the doors off of the place like Johnston or Robertson but I think it is safe to assume he could become a 20+ goal guy if given ~16 or more minutes per game.
