Bruins Sign Danton Heinen for 1-Year, $775,000 Deal

In a move that’s sure to pique the interest of Boston Bruins fans, the team has signed forward Danton Heinen to a one-year contract worth $775,000. Heinen, a familiar face in the Boston hockey scene, returns to the TD Garden with the promise of bolstering the Bruins’ roster after starting the 2023-2024 season (7-0-1). This signing represents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity for both the player and the team as Heinen looks to revitalize his career with the Bruins.

Danton Heinen’s hockey journey has taken him through various stages, and his return to the Bruins is a chapter with potential for redemption. The 26-year-old winger, originally from Langley, British Columbia, was selected by the Bruins in the fourth round (116th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Heinen made his NHL debut with Boston in the 2016-2017 season, and his promising play earned him a regular spot in the lineup over the following seasons.

During his tenure with the Bruins, Heinen showcased his versatility and two-way play, which made him a valuable asset. Heinen’s best season with Boston came in the 2017-2018 campaign, where he recorded 47 points (16 goals and 31 assists) in 77 games. Unfortunately, the seasons that followed were less productive, and Heinen found himself in and out of the lineup.

After being traded to the Anaheim Ducks in February 2020, Heinen was given an opportunity to prove himself in a new environment. While the change of scenery may have been refreshing, Heinen’s performance remained inconsistent, and his tenure with the Ducks was marred by the team’s struggles.

However, the Bruins’ decision to bring Heinen back for the 2023-2024 season suggests that they still see potential in the young forward. The one-year, $775,000 contract is a cost-effective move for Boston, providing them with a depth player who is already familiar with their system. Heinen’s history with the organization means he can quickly adjust to their playing style, and the Bruins are hoping he can regain his form and contribute to their success.
