Marchand extended eight years, HSBL Fantasy sign up

Brad Marchand has made a big splash at the World Cup of Hockey accomplishing something that many talented NHL forwards have had trouble doing: succeeding on a line with Sidney Crosby.

The Boston Bruins winger scored the game-tying and winning goals in Canada’s 5-3 victory over Russia on Saturday.

Marchand’s success may have given Boston GM Don Sweeney a push to get him locked up prior to the start of the regular season and on Monday, it was announced that the Bruins have signed the 28-year-old to an eight-year, $49 Million extension ($6.125 Million AAV).

The deal extends Marchand through 2025 (or 36 years old) and slots his salary between linemate Patrice Bergeron (who makes close to $7 million) and ahead of free agent David Backes on the Boston payroll.

Hey signups have begun for another season of the HockeyBuzz Super League Fantasy Game!

Sign up here:
HBSL sign up

It's the best fantasy game every created. Of course, we're a little biased. The HBSL is a hybrid between a salary cap game and a head-to-head fantasy game. Each week you create your 20 man roster based on the actual NHL salary cap and the actual salary cap hits. You then face-off with a fellow hockey fan. At the end of the regular season, we throw the best 128 teams into a 7-week playoff.

There is a Season Ticket Holder bracket and a Free bracket.

HBSL STH Bracket
Entrants who were season ticket holders at the start of the NHL season are eligible for the following prizes:

Grand Prize: HDTV
Runner-up: Replica Stanley Cup
Semi-Finals Losers: Customized NHL Jersey

Entrants that were NOT season ticket holders at the start of the NHL season are eligible for the following prizes:
