Tuesday marked the official start of NHL free agency. The Boston Bruins made several moves as they hope to improve from a disappointing 2024-25 season. The Bruins missed the postseason last year and ended up with the No. 7 pick in the NHL Draft. Boston used that pick to select center James Hagens out of Boston College.

NHL free agency began Tuesday at noon, and some big names have already signed with new teams. Boston kicked things off by acquiring Viktor Arvidsson in a trade with the Oilers. They also signed free agent Tanner Jeannot to a five-year contract carrying an average annual value of $3.

The Boston Bruins signed nine players on day one of NHL free agency. The biggest signings were Tanner Jeannot, Jordan Harris, and Sean Kuraly.
