Boston Bruins News
Harris joins his third NHL team, entering the 2025-26 season with the Boston Bruins on a one-year, $825K contract. The 24-year-old defenseman averaged 11:23 time-on-ice and scored five points (1G / 4A) in 33 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets last season.

Steeves is an undrafted 25-year-old forward who played a career-high seven games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season but has spent most of his career in the AHL. He had an outstanding 2024-25 season with the Toronto Marlies (AHL), scoring 62 points (36G / 26A) in 59 games.

The Bruins were busy on July 1st, adding Eyssimont to a list of depth forwards that includes Tanner Jeannot and Sean Kuraly. The 28-year-old Eyssimont scored 16 points (9G / 7A) in 77 games between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Seattle Kraken last season.

Kuraly spent the previous four seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets, but will join his third NHL team in the 2025-26 season on a two-year deal worth $1.85 million AAV with the Boston Bruins. The 32-year-old Kuraly had 17 points (6G / 11A) in 82 games with the Blue Jackets last season, his lowest point total since scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in 47 games with the Boston Bruins in 2020-21.

Tanner Jeannot will join his fourth NHL team in five seasons after signing a five-year deal worth $3.4M AAV ($17.0M total) with Boston on Tuesday. The 28-year-old bruising forward had a down year in 2024-25, picking up only seven goals, 13 points and 89 PIMs in 67 games played. He is expected to play a complementary role, likely in Boston's bottom-six, for the upcoming season.

The Bruins solidified their goaltending depth by signed DiPietro to a two-year contract with a $812.5K AAV. The 26-year-old netminder has impressed at every level but has not been able to establish himself in the NHL yet. Dipeitro had a solid 2.05 GAA and .927 SV% in 40 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) this season.

Jokiharju was acquired from the Buffalo Sabres last season and made a positive impact in his brief tenure with the Bruins, earning himself a three-year contract extension with a $3 million AAV. The 26-year-old Finnish defenseman recorded four points (0G / 4A) and averaged 21:22 time-on-ice in 18 games with the Bruins in 2024-25.

Boston's most coveted restricted free agent is off the market after Morgan Geekie and the Bruins agreed to a six-year, $33 million contract extension ($5.5 million AAV) on Sunday. The 26-year-old is coming off his best campaign to date, posting career highs in nearly all statistical categories, including goals (33), assists (24), points (57), SOG (150) and TOI (16:55).

Acquired at the 2024-25 trade deadline, Marat Khusnutdinov will remain in Boston for at least two more seasons after signing a two-year, $1.85 million contract extension on Sunday. The 22-year-old former 3rd round pick started his career with 11 points in 73 games with Minnesota, but caught his footing after his trade to Boston, where he had three goals and five points in 18 games played after the trade.


Columbus acquired a depth forward on Thursday after trading for Branden Gaunce from Minnesota for AHL forward Cameron Butler. Gaunce, 31, spent most of 2024-25 as a healthy scratch for the Wild, which led to him only putting up an assist and a -4 plus/minus in 12 games played. He returns to familiar territory in Columbus, where he spent three seasons between 2021-2024 and had 12 points in 59 games played.
