Inside the NHL’s Biggest Contract Blunders of 2025: Shocking Surprises from Huberdeau to Provorov
For the next four years, the Kings have a very expensive third-pair defenseman.
10. Tanner Jeannot
Contract: $3.4M x five years
Surplus Value: -$13M
Positive Value Probability: 5 percent
Four years ago, Tanner Jeannot had 24 goals and 41 points in 81 games, a year removed from lighting up the AHL with 10 goals and 21 points in 13 games. Jeannot looked like someone who was going to be a problem for years to come as a menacing power forward with a scoring touch.
Turns out the problem was expecting Jeannot to replicate that ever again, first fooling the Lightning out of an entire draft class and now the Bruins out of $17 million. Since that magical season, Jeannot has 20 goals and 45 points over 198 games, an eight-goal and 19-point pace. Woof.
