At 22 years old, forward Fraser Minten has signed a seven‑year, $50.4 million contract with the Boston Bruins, a deal that will keep the young talent in the Garden for the foreseeable future and signals the organization’s confidence in his two‑way play and offensive upside.
Commitment to a Winning Culture
Minten expressed genuine excitement about his long‑term commitment, citing the Bruins’ rich history, strong team culture and the belief that the club is positioned to compete for championships year after year.
The 2025‑26 season represented a personal best for the rookie, who recorded 17 goals, 18 assists and 35 points, the highest totals of his career to date, and led first‑year players in goals (eight) and points (fourteen) to earn NHL Rookie of the Month honors for January.
Drafted 38th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2022, Minten was traded to Boston in 2025, a move that has allowed him to flourish under the guidance of general manager Don Sweeney, who praised the player’s growth and the trust he has earned from teammates and coaches.
Beyond the offensive surge, Minten contributed 142 hits and 27 takeaways, ranking fifth among Bruins forwards in hits and second in plus/minus among rookies, underscoring his commitment to defensive responsibility as well as attack.
