When free agency began on July 1, Boston Bruins fans were waiting to see what would be general manager Don Sweeney's big move. When the dust settled, it wasn't the big move fans were hoping for.
The big move was signing a gritty forward, Tanner Jeannot, to a five-year, $17 million contract with an annual $3.4 million AAV. His numbers are not going to blow you away, but he brings a physicality that the Black and Gold have been missing. However, he knew before free agency opened that he would be a good fit for the Black and Gold.
