Loading…By the model, Pastrnak is a top-tier winger: a 94.9 overall, 9th of 384 at his position. That makes him the 2nd-highest-rated player on the Boston Bruins roster.
The standout tool is offensive creation (98), backed by finishing (88); defensive impact (34) is the part of his game that grades lowest.
Over 12 rated seasons since 2014-15 he has averaged 94.1, peaking at 99.8 in 2024-25; last season's 96 was down 3.8 points.
At $11.3M through 2030-31 before unrestricted free agency, the model rates the deal Underpaid: his expected value is $14.8M, so the Boston Bruins save roughly $3.54M a season against his production.
His cap hit is the largest on the Boston Bruins NHL roster and uses 10.8% of the $104M ceiling; the club currently has $6.45M in cap space.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
