They will try, but they're going to have to make some tough decisions along the way. Kessel, Krejci, Wheeler, and Lucic will all command a couple million more each, whenever their current contract ends. All good young players. They'll probably get rid of Bergeron before that though, so they'll possibly be able to keep all of them.
But I don't see him leaving Boston until he becomes a UFA. He strikes me as a guy that loves Vancouver, loves being here, and would love playing here in his hometown. A few more years playing in Boston might change that feeling, but for now I think his heart is here. I kind of see it like a Willie Mitchell situation. But who knows what'll happen by then. Still, until that time comes, I can dream, right?
