Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney is not taking a day off this NHL Trade Deadline season. The Bruins announced a massive contract extension for Czech star forward David Pastrnak on Thursday, on an eight-year, $90 million deal, per Darren Dreger.

The contract is the sixth highest active NHL deal; the 26-year-old superstar is set to make $11.25 million per year over the course of the deal.

The Havirov, Czechia native has played his entire nine-year NHL career in Boston after the club selected him 25th overall in the 2014 draft. For the last six seasons, Pastrnak has played at a $6.67-million cap hit, a massive bargain for the Bruins for a player who is well over a point per game over that stretch, per Sportsnet.

He will become the highest-paid Bruin when the extension take effect next season. It's a phenomenal deal for Pastrnak, who has consistently been one of the best offensive forwards in the league over the past five seasons.
