The Boston Bruins are close to signing a player, poised to finalize a crucial deal with forward Trent Frederic. The expected contract is believed to be a substantial commitment, with Mike Grinnell suggesting a $4 million average annual value (AAV) and an unprecedented 15-year term.
Clearly, this is a humorous remark. Mike Grinnell, a podcaster from Spitting Chiclets, humorously suggested on Twitter that the Bruins should offer Trent Frederic a $4 million AAV, 15-year deal.
Clearly, such a scenario is implausible because the maximum contract duration is eight years. Given this, considering Frederic's significant contribution to the Bruins, what do you estimate will be the value of Frederic's renewal, especially since next year marks the end of his current contract?
