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.

Tanner Jeannot is a punishing presence out on the ice, but he's commanding a hefty contract from the Bruins moving forward.

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.
