The fears of Boston Bruins fans were put to rest Monday when the team announced the return of two icons of the franchise.

Captain Patrice Bergeron and former center David Krejci have been signed to one-year contracts carrying a combined cap hit of $3.5 million.

Bergeron was rumored to be considering retirement following an elimination in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes.

Instead, the 35-year old will stay in Boston on a deal worth $2.5m with an additional $2.5m worth of incentives.

An hour after that deal was announced, it was revealed the Bruins were able to convince 36-year old former center David Krejci to return from his time in his home country of the Czech Republic on a 1-year, $1m deal.
