On Tuesday, Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced that the Boston Bruins have re-signed center Patrice Bergeron to a multi-year contract. “Patrice is an outstanding young player with a tremendous future,” said Chiarelli. “He is an offensive threat every time he is on the ice, has great defensive instincts and he plays a physical game without taking a lot of penalties.
