Bobby Orr secured a five year deal with the Boston Bruins estimated at 1 million dollars while the 90 day wage and price freeze spurs questions about salary terms. Bruins president Western Adams Jr. said the pact was completed last February after extended talks. Orr, 23, and adviser Alan Eagleson noted the contract could be subject to the Nixon era freeze with Orr potentially earning his prior salary if the rule applies.
