As you know, over the past few months, even though he was still absolutely at the top of his game, Quebecer forward Patrice Bergeron announced his retirement from the NHL.
If he comes back for the playoffs, he will indeed not be counted against Boston's salary cap. Personally, we have a lot of trouble believing it, but it would indeed be incredible for them.
One thing is certain, Marchand assures that he and Bergeron still talk a lot together, almost every day! In any case, the Bruins are doing very well again this season, ranking 4th in the league, and 1st in the East, with a record of 23-8-6 (52 points).
