Don Sweeney drops major hint on Morgan Geekie’s future after career-best year

For General Manager Don Sweeney, re-signing Geekie isn’t just on the to-do list, it’s a top priority.

We’ve been in constant communication with Morgan’s camp since the time the season ended, Sweeney told Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

I have no issues with the timeline of our discussions. We’d like to get it done. We know that it’s going to be somewhere between a one- and an eight-year deal. How’s that?

Sweeney’s tone was relaxed, even a little tongue-in-cheek, but the message was unmistakable: Boston wants Geekie to stay.

Offer sheet buzz? Bruins aren’t biting

Some around the league have speculated that Geekie could become an offer sheet target this summer.

Given his age, position, and breakout production, the idea isn’t far-fetched. Still, Sweeney doesn’t seem fazed.

A recent projection from AFP Analytics predicted Geekie’s next deal will land around four years with an average annual value of $6.59 million, fair money for a 30-goal scorer who’s just scratching the surface.

When the Bruins acquired Geekie, he was viewed as a potential middle-six piece. In just two seasons, he’s become much more than that.

After scoring 17 goals in 2023–24, he nearly doubled that this season, a leap few saw coming, but one the Bruins are eager to reward.

This isn’t a rebuild, and Geekie proves it

Boston’s season was painful, but the front office isn’t waving a white flag.

Re-signing Geekie sends a clear message: they believe in the pieces they have, and they’re committed to building around them.

Keeping a productive, ascending forward like Geekie is part of that plan. He’s not just insurance — he’s become a legitimate part of their core.

The Bruins know what they have, and they don’t want to lose it. Whether it’s a short-term bridge or a long-term commitment, expect something to get done, likely before another team has a chance to test Boston’s resolve.
