Peter Chiarelli may not have been able to keep a recalcitrant Phil Kessel [stats] in the fold once the speedy forward got to restricted free agency last summer, but he made sure yesterday that goaltender Tuukka Rask would not be flying the coop any time soon.

Rask, who was scheduled to become a restricted free agent next summer, was inked to a two-year deal that will pay him $1 million in 2010-11 and $1.5 million in 2011-12. Chiarelli also took care of Milan Lucic, who was also scheduled to become an RFA this summer, with a multiyear deal earlier this season.
