Tanner Jeannot has signed a five-year contract with the Boston Bruins worth $17 million, reflecting a $3.4 million cap hit. Jeannot is known for his physical play but has struggled offensively, scoring only 20 goals over the last three seasons. His limited contributions include just 13 points last season. This contract raises concerns due to his potential bottom-six role and minimal impact on special teams, especially as the Bruins faced offensive difficulties last season. The decision for a five-year term seems questionable given his lack of recent scoring success.
The B's and left wing Tanner Jeannot have agreed to a five-year, $17 million contract, which carries a $3.4 million cap hit.
Jeannot has scored only 20 goals over the last three years combined, with just 13 points last season in 67 games.
A $3.4 million cap hit is steep for a player likely to fill a bottom-six role and who isn't expected to contribute significantly on the power play.
The Bruins cannot afford to use valuable cap space on players of Jeannot's caliber, especially considering their struggles last season.
