In a decisive move that underscores the Boston Bruins’ commitment to building around their core talent, superstar winger David Pastrnak has signed a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the team. The deal, which carries an average annual value of $18 million, includes a full no-movement clause, ensuring Pastrnak remains in black and gold for the foreseeable future.
The extension comes as no surprise to Bruins fans and league insiders alike, as Pastrnak has long been viewed as a franchise cornerstone and one of the NHL’s elite offensive threats. The 29-year-old Czech forward has consistently dazzled with his scoring prowess, creativity, and on-ice chemistry with his teammates.
“This is where I want to be,” Pastrnak said in a press release. “Boston is home. The fans, the organization, my teammates — everything about being a Bruin feels right. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I’m committed to bringing another Stanley Cup to this city.”
Since being drafted 25th overall in 2014, Pastrnak has blossomed into one of the league’s premier forwards, racking up multiple 40+ goal seasons and earning All-Star honors along the way. Known for his dynamic shot and infectious personality, he’s become not only a leader in the locker room but also a fan favorite throughout New England.
Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney praised the deal, calling it “a crucial step in keeping our competitive window wide open.”
“David exemplifies everything we want in a Boston Bruin — skill, heart, and an unwavering commitment to the team,” Sweeney said. “This extension ensures we continue to build around him as a central piece of our long-term vision.”
The inclusion of a no-movement clause speaks volumes about the mutual trust between Pastrnak and the organization. It effectively guarantees that he will remain in Boston unless he personally decides otherwise — a rare display of loyalty in today’s NHL.
With this contract, Pastrnak not only secures his financial future but also sends a strong message: he’s all-in on bringing championship glory back to Boston.
As the Bruins look toward the 2025–26 season and beyond, one thing is clear — with David Pastrnak locked in, the heart of the team beats stronger than ever.
