BOSTON, MA - Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today that the club has signed goaltender Tuukka Rask to a two-year contract extension through the 2011-12 season. Chiarelli will be available to the media Thursday night at 6:00 p.m...


Great news for Tuukka, and I have to say he's been playing very well!

Rask would have been a restricted free agent after this season, but the extension wraps him up until 2012. Terms of the deal haven't been disclosed, but it's believed to be in the range of $1.2 million to $1.6 million a season.



I also heard it was a one-way contract.

Tuukka is finally picking up his game, and I'll bet in the next year we start to see him begin to get more starts then Tim.
