It blows my mind that the bruins highest paid player is only getting paid 6.7M.... thats why they are so good. As a rangers fan im pretty envious of the fact that they can have these world class players for so cheep. that changes a little bit next year with McAvoy getting over 9M but still pretty impressive cap management.

Tkachuk getting paid more than Chabot

Chabot is making $7m actual cash this year, Tkachuk is making $4m. That may be what they were trying to do here.

Yea, speaks a lot about the type of leaders that they have inside of there locker room, and there management. Guys like Marchand and Bergeron would take a cap hit just to make sure there team continues to win and it forces others to do the same, pasta. But this is also because they clearly explain and build that culture of team first.

Yep. Although McAvoy will become the highest paid player next season with a 9.5 cap hit (9.25 total salary) . That could change the dynamic a little bit going forward in Boston.
