It looks like John Buccigross' Boston roots have finally helped ESPN break a hockey story.Buccigross and Matt Barnaby reported on ESPN SportsCenter that the Bruins will call a press conference this weekend to announce an agreement on an extension with goalie Tim Thomas.
The extension is expected to be for three years. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
More to come as details come available.
UPDATE: It looks like Thomas' deal is going to be in the neighborhood of $5.2 million a year. For a comparison, that is the money that Martin Brodeur makes currently. Brodeur is currently the 11th highest paid goalie in the NHL. That would give you a feel for where Thomas will be paid in terms of starters in the league.
The deal should be confirmed tomorrow morning before the Bruins face-off against the New York Rangers.
