Bruins Sign Jonathan Aspirot to Two-Year, $1.775 Million Extension

The low cap hit locks in a cost-effective depth option for a defense corps Boston has under contract through 2027–28.

Overview

  • The extension carries an $887,500 average annual value, and multiple reports say it is a one-way deal that would pay the same in the AHL.
  • In his first NHL season, the 26-year-old has played 25 games with two goals and one assist and has earned shifts alongside Charlie McAvoy.
  • Aspirot reached the NHL after six AHL seasons, moving from Belleville to Calgary before signing with Providence last summer and earning a recall.
  • He had been on a one-year, league-minimum $775,000 contract and was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
  • The move adds a low-cost regular to a group that already includes McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov and Henri Jokiharju under deals running through 2027–28, with Boston projected to have just over $19 million in summer cap space.
