After spending close to two months on a professional tryout (PTO) deal, Danton Heinen has finally put pen to paper on a new contract with the Bruins.
Boston announced on Monday just a few hours ahead of puck drop against the Panthers that Heinen had signed a one-year deal for the remainder of the 2023-24 season with an NHL cap hit of $775,000.
The 28-year-old forward has played the waiting game as Boston shifted its roster to eventually accommodate his affordable deal. After playing in three preseason games with Boston, Heinen has not been able to play in a game with his contract status in limbo.
