Inside the NHL’s Biggest Contract Surprises of 2025: Who’s Winning and Losing Big Bucks?
Trading for Casey Mittelstadt, Andrew Peeke and Joonas Korpisalo has hurt the bottom line at all three positions. Signing Elias Lindholm, Tanner Jeannot and Nikita Zadorov only inflicted more pain on top of that, with the recent Jeannot deal being the most egregious.
It’s possible that bounce-backs (and good health) from Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm can get things back on track. And the model already expects that for Jeremy Swayman thanks to his age. But the Bruins have inflicted too much damage on themselves otherwise to expect this to be an above-average cap sheet going forward.
