Bruins Getting the Very Best From Morgan Geekie

The Boston Bruins have had to be creative with their signings in the last year due to their cap situation. They’ve relied on taking bets on either older guys or ones that hadn’t completely established themselves, giving them cheap contracts, and seeing if it will work out. In the 2023-24 season, it luckily has. James van Riemsdyk and Danton Heinen are two great examples of this, but the one that has really caught my eye recently is Morgan Geekie. 

At this point, Geekie is probably the most successful of the free agency bunch, which is another win for the front office since he got the biggest contract and a two-year deal. This is great for him as he is certainly on his way to a bigger payday when this deal is up. He will still only be 27, and many teams, not just the Bruins, are going to be interested in trying to acquire him.

But Geekie’s next contract is a debate for another time. For now, the most important thing is that he continues to play at this level going into the final stretch of the regular season and the looming playoffs. It is guys like him, third-liners, middle-six players, that often are the difference makers in a long postseason.
