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.

With Clemmensen having just one year left on his contract, it's expected that Markstrom will be with the Panthers no later than next season.

Markstrom is the Panthers' future in net, forcing the trades of Alexander Salak and Mark Cheverie from the organization. He should be the starting goalie for the team's AHL affiliate in San Antonio, receiving a calliup should one of the big club's veterans go down with an injury.

Santos threw a shot at defenseman Dmitry Kulikov on Wednesday, saying "I wouldn't say Kulikov is guaranteed a spot. He's eligible for the AHL too.''

For those of you expecting an uptick in production from Kulikov: be careful. The young Russian will need to earn his spot and compete for playing time with veterans like Brian Campbell and Ed Jovanovski.
