The Boston Bruins locked in a 22-year-old center, hit the ice yesterday, and are hitting the links today.
Hockey season is right around the corner.
The Bruins made a long-term commitment and signed Fraser Minten to a seven-year deal. The Seventh Player Award winner had 35 points during his rookie season, and the two sides got the deal done before Minten’s second training camp with the team.

MINTEN: Bang. The Bruins are back in business, and Fraser Minten is sticking around through the 2033-34 season.
Yesterday morning, the Bruins announced a seven-year, $50.4 million deal ($7.2M AAV) for the 22-year-old.
The contract includes a 16-team no-trade clause for the 2032-33 season and a 10-team no-trade clause for 2033-34.
Minten is coming off a 35-point season, and he has 40 points in 100 career NHL games. With the rising cap, the Bruins are following league trends and committing long-term to a younger player.
