Milan Lucic is returning to the Boston Bruins this season after signing a free-agent contract. He'll be reuniting with David Pastrnak, whom he's always seen as having superstar potential.
When asked about comparing Pastrnak to Connor McDavid, Lucic said,
"They're different players, but what 'Pasta' has achieved in recent years is impressive. I had the privilege of playing with him during his rookie year when he was 18. To see him grow into a Top 5, Top 10 player has been awesome. He's up there with the best in the league."
This marks their first time playing together since Pastrnak's rookie season in 2014-15, and they'll be teaming up again with Pastrnak at his peak performance.
