#NHLBruins signed Fraser Minten to a seven-year, $50.4 million extension with a $7.2 million AAV. Deal runs through 2033 Via @frank_seravalli on X

What happened: The contract carries a $7.2 million annual cap hit and runs through 2033-34. Minten is coming off an 82-game 2025-26 campaign.

Why it matters: The term removes his restricted free agency from next summer while locking in a core salary slot for seven seasons. It shifts the development risk onto the club after Minten's first full NHL season.

By the numbers: Minten recorded 17 goals and 18 assists for 35 points in 2025-26. He also posted a plus-20 rating, with 30 points at even strength and two overtime goals.

What to watch: Training camp will show whether Minten enters 2026-27 in a top-six center role.
