David Pastrnak is seeking a maximum term deal with the Boston Bruins.

On Thursday, Bruins president Cam Neely candidly spoke at the Bruins FanFest, admiring the club has not had any real dialogue with Pastrnak's camp since tabling a six- or seven-year contract at an annual average of $6 million.

However, Pastrnak's agent J.P. Barry responded, saying they plan to hold discussions Friday, and has since announced they intend to discuss a max-term deal.

"(The Bruins) are aware that the offers to date aren’t where we feel David fits in this marketplace," Barry said, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald. "We plan to discuss an eight-year maximum term to see if we can find more common ground."

There is speculation that Pastrnak could be seeking a deal closer to that of Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl. Draisaitl is the same age as Pastrnak and after tallying 29 goals and 77 points this past season, earned an eight-year, $68-million deal from the Oilers.

Pastnak is a restricted free agent and is coming off a career year that saw him finish second on the Bruins with 34 goals and 70 points in 75 games.
