As the Boston Bruins were going through the struggles of the 2024-25 season, one player continued to chug along without skipping a beat. Morgan Geekie set a career-high in goals with 17 in 2023-24, his first season with Boston, but nobody saw his outburst from last year coming.
Geekie scored 33 goals, won the NESN 7th Player Award at the end of the season, and surpassed expectations by a mile. He was rewarded in the offseason with a brand new contract from general manager Don Sweeney for six years, and $33 million contract with a cap hit of $5.
