The Boston Bruins locked up star centre Patrice Bergeron to a $23.75-million US, five-year contract Tuesday, ensuring the restricted free agent will be in camp next month.

Bergeron will earn $4.75 million a season, third-highest on the club behind defenceman Zdeno Chara ($7.5 million) and centre Marc Savard ($5 million).

Nice to see that the new GM has looked Patrice up for five years....

Smart move on the Bruins' part. He is going to be a solid contributor for many years to come. He really stepped it up after Thornton was traded.

Hoooray! I'm happy Bergeron is going to be a Bruin for a long time.

Good move, he is the real deal and this contract will look better and better for the next 5 years!
