How do you think Tanner Jeannot’s contract will play out? 🤔
Jeannot, 28, signed a 5 year, $17M contract with the Bruins this offseason. That deal was recently ranked 10th on the Athletic’s Top 10 worst NHL contracts by Dom Luszczyszyn. 😳
An excerpt from the article:
“Four years ago, Tanner Jeannot had 24 goals and 41 points in 81 games, a year removed from lighting up the AHL with 10 goals and 21 points in 13 games. Jeannot looked like someone who was going to be a problem for years to come as a menacing power forward with a scoring touch.
Turns out the problem was expecting Jeannot to replicate that ever again, first fooling the Lightning out of an entire draft class and now the Bruins out of $17 million. Since that magical season, Jeannot has 20 goals and 45 points over 198 games, an eight-goal and 19-point pace. Woof.”
“In a summer filled with weird deals as a result of teams having more money than they knew what to do with, Jeannot’s deal was one of the weirdest.”
