Brad Marchand gets two-year deal with Bruins 09.14.11 at 2:48 pm ET
By DJ Bean

The Bruins announced Wednesday that they have signed restricted free agent Brad Marchand to a two-year contract.

Renaud P. Lavoie of RDS in Canada was the first to report the deal, noting it is for $5 million and a $2.5 million cap hit.

Last season, Marchand made $821,667. He had 21 goals and 20 assists in the regular season as a rookie, and his 11 goals in the playoffs put him behind only teammate David Krejci for tops amongst all skaters.

Had he not signed this week, it was possible Marchand may have missed part of training camp.

    Good deal for Marchand. Unfortunately for Bruins fans, he will be out of the line up for most of next year. Playoff officiating, also called hide the whistle, won’t save him. To his credit, the shorthanded goal was a great finish. The next Sean Avery goes to work in Beantown. The lack of penalty for the long facewash may cost him his career.
    Speaking about money, I hope Tim Thomas received a 2 million dollar bonus for carrying the B’s on his back all the way to the promise land.
    I sure hope Savard gets to play again.
