The Boston Bruins continue to have one of the best goalie tandem in the league with Tuukka Rask and Jaroslav Halak.
What makes it even better is that they have two solid goalies waiting in the wings with Dan Vladar and
Jeremy Swayman looking fantastic in Providence.
While the youngsters look good, they'll likely need another year or two of seasoning in the AHL before making the jump to the NHL.
That means that maybe Halak and more than likely Rask will be brought back next season.
So what could a contract extension for Rask look like?
Rask won't get a long term extension like last time but he's continuing to put up great numbers so we can't expect him to take too much of a pay cut.
That's why Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Hub believes Rask will likely get a 2-3 year deal worth around $6.5million a year.
The Bruins are likely up against the cap once again next year but they will need Rask around to continue making a push.
Would you be willing to hand Rask this type of deal?
