Jaroslav Halak isn't going anywhere.

Jaroslav Halak signs a one-year contract with the Bruins for next season at $2.25 million. A little surprising given their young goalies in system, but Rask and Halak are arguably best tandem in the league

With no NHL-ready prospects in the pipeline, this is a significant move for the B's. Halak has proven to be a premier backup and has helped tremendously in easing Rask's workload.
Halak is 18-6-6 and boasts a .919 save percentage on the season for the B's. In 71 total games with Boston, the soon-to-be 35-year-old is 40-17-10 with a .921 save percentage.
