"But, the Bruins aren't just asking the 28-year-old power forward to be the club's go-to scrapper. They're looking for an established veteran who can serve as a reliable resource for a dressing room set to receive an influx of young talent - as well as a guardian on the ice when said youngsters are getting pushed around. And for a Bruins team that ranked 27th in the NHL in goals scored per game last season (2.71), Boston is holding out hope"
""I want to just help out as much as I can with being a leader to some of the younger guys. And just drawing from that experience that I've had - just kind of moving around, being in some different organizations and seeing how things work throughout my career so far. And I'm going to do that. I want to do everything I can and bring everything I can to this organization.""
Tanner Jeannot joins the Bruins expected to fill multiple roles: physical enforcer, veteran mentor, and secondary scoring option. Boston signed Jeannot to a five-year, $17 million contract to add toughness and leadership for a roster that will incorporate young talent. The Bruins ranked 27th in goals per game (2.71) last season and hope Jeannot can regain scoring form after a 24-goal campaign in 2021-22. Jeannot intends to be himself, mentor younger teammates, and draw on experience from multiple organizations to help the team on and off the ice.
