Bruins Bet Big On Jeannot To Add Some Bite

The Bruins are adding a physical bottom-six forward, and they are paying like they believe he can matter in more ways than the box score. Tanner Jeannot’s deal gives Boston a veteran power winger with a reputation for doing the dirty work that coaches love and opponents hate. The wrinkle is the term and the cap hit, because this is exactly the kind of move that tells you a front office is willing to live with risk if it thinks the fit is right.
