The Bruins have confirmed that Brad Marchand has agreed to a contract extension. According to TSN, Marchand has signed a two-year, $5 million contract, giving him an annual cap hit of $2.5 million.

The sophomore will be looking to top his 20 goals and 41 points from his rookie campaign. As long as he continues to flank Patrice Bergeron, he should retain that value if not further improve. Keep in mind, the pesky winger finished second to David Krejci in postseason goals with 11.
