I don't get one year to Boston. Aren't one-year deals usually to try to win a cup? Boston probably doesn't even make the playoffs.

Edit: Aha. Well there you go.

5 years better than 6 or 7. This one is slightly more reasonable than some of them.

Don't forget he's also 4 years older than Lucic and Okposo who signed at the same AAV. Compared to those bad contracts, this one looks much worse!

This contract takes him to age 36. I think the Bruins made a mistake.
