Bruins Sign Hard-Hitting Forward to Five-Year Deal
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 1 – Tanner Jeannot signs a five-year, $17 million deal to add physicality and toughness as a middle-six forward, replacing Trent Frederic's role, Bruins say.
- On July 1, 2025, the Boston Bruins agreed to a five-year deal with 28-year-old forward Tanner Jeannot, carrying a $3.4 million annual salary cap charge.
- The Bruins pursued Jeannot to add a physical middle-six forward after trading Trent Frederic and amid a roster transition focused on toughness.
- Jeannot recorded 24 goals with Nashville in 2021-22 but has not matched that production over 294 NHL games across multiple teams.
- The contract represents a steep raise and overpay in both term and payout, with analysis noting Boston needs more scoring skill to complement physicality.
- Jeannot’s signing suggests the Bruins emphasize physical presence but may still need to add scoring depth to rebuild after recent playoff misses.
