Jeannot's five-year, $3.4 million AAV contract with Boston is the latest, best example of NHL GMs repeating the mistakes of their peers.

The Boston Bruins have reportedly signed physical winger Tanner Jeannot to a five-year contract with a $3.2 million annual cap hit.

The Boston Bruins have not fared very well in NHL free agency during Don Sweeney’s decade-long tenure as general manager, and his latest contract is a head-scratcher. The B’s and left wing Tanner Jeannot have agreed to a five-year, $17 million contract, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The deal carries a $3.4 million cap hit.
