The #NHLBruins signed 22 y/o F Fraser Minten to a seven year $7.2M cap hit contract Yr 1 3.4M Salary, 4M Signing Bonus Via @PuckPedia on X

What happened: The contract runs through 2033-34 for a total value of $50.4 million. Fraser Minten receives 16-team and 10-team no-trade lists in the final two seasons, respectively.

Why it matters: The fixed cap charge gives Boston cost certainty through Minten's age-29 season. Buying two unrestricted-free-agent years extends the commitment beyond his restricted-free-agent window.

By the numbers: The deal contains $15 million in signing bonuses and $35.4 million in salary. Annual cash peaks at $9 million in Year 3, then falls to $6 million in each of the final two seasons.

What to watch: Minten's role and production in 2026-27 will set the baseline before the extension takes effect.
