Bruins, head coach Bruce Cassidy talking multiyear extension

It appears the marriage between the Boston Bruins and their head coach will be lasting a while longer.

According to reports, the team is in negotiations with Bruce Cassidy on a multiyear contract extension that could put him in the company of only eight other NHL bench bosses that will make more than $3 million a season.

The 54-year old, who was initially hired as the Bruins’ head coach on May 24, 2016, has made the playoffs in each of his first three seasons at the helm. This past season, the Bruins were one win away from capturing their first Stanley Cup since 2011.

He has posted a combined 117-52-22 regular season record, and 22-20 playoff record with the franchise.
