Tuukka Rask is going to get quite a reward this offseason. (USATSI) More NHL Playoffs: Scores | TV Schedule | Expert Picks | Odds | Mock Draft | Rumors BOSTON -- When the Boston Bruins re-signed restricted free agent Tuukka Rask to a one-year, $3.5 million contract this past summer they had to know they were getting a bargain for the 2013 season.
With Tim Thomas, last year's starter, essentially taking himself off of the NHL map, Rask was going to be stepping back into the No. 1 role. He's never been anything short of spectacular at the NHL level, and the single biggest reason they were able to overcome the loss of another top-quality goalie (Thomas) was because they already had his replacement sitting on the bench.
