"A player with Jeannot's bruising approach on the ice can bring value to an NHL club, especially in a bottom-six role."
"The Bruins opted to make a significant commitment to the 28-year-old winger, a five-year deal worth $3.4 million per season."
"Even if Jeannot's reputation as a heat-seeking missile remains validated at this stage of his career, his value has taken a hit when it comes to his production."
"For a Bruins team whose fatal flaw last season rested in its inability to find the back of the net, committing a long-term deal to a player like Jeannot felt like a stretch."
The Boston Bruins signed forward Tanner Jeannot to a five-year contract worth $3.4 million per season. This decision was controversial as several pugnacious forwards were available at lower prices. Jeannot, known for his physical play, has seen a decline in scoring, netting only 20 goals over the past three seasons compared to 24 goals in his breakout 2021-22 season. The Bruins' struggle to score last season raised questions about investing in a player whose offensive production is questionable, especially with other depth signings made the same day.
