Bourque Gets Six Years

So much for my pipe dream of seeing Rene Bourque on Broadway. Calgary has resigned the winger to a six year deal, with a cap hit of $3.3 million per season ($19.8 million total). Bourque had a breakout season last year, finishing with 21 goals, 40 points, and 70 PIMS while playing in just 58 games. This year, Bourque has already set career highs in points (41), assists (23), and PIMS (74). He is also on pace to set a career high in goals (18 thus far), all this in just 53 games.

The Flames are getting a steal with this. Good job by Daryl Suter.
