LOCKED IN Till 2030: Boston Bruins Star Jordan Harris Signs Five-Year Contract Extension with Full Guarantee

In a major move that reinforces the Boston Bruins’ commitment to their rising young core, defenseman Jordan Harris has signed a five-year contract extension that will keep him with the franchise through the 2030 NHL season. The deal is reportedly worth $28.5 million and comes with a full guarantee, making Harris one of the highest-paid blueliners of his age group in the league.

The Bruins announced the deal early Saturday morning, with General Manager Don Sweeney calling it a “foundational signing” for the team’s future.

“Jordan has grown into one of the most reliable and intelligent defensemen in the league,” Sweeney said. “His skating, composure, and ability to read the game are elite, and his leadership qualities on and off the ice made this decision easy for us.”

A Rising Star in Boston

Originally drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 2018, Harris was acquired by the Bruins in a blockbuster trade two seasons ago. Since his arrival in Boston, Harris has blossomed into a defensive mainstay, earning a spot on the Bruins’ top pairing and averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time per game. His contributions were pivotal in Boston’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024.

Harris, 25, posted seven goals and 26 assists last season, while boasting a +21 rating and logging consistent minutes on the power play and penalty kill. While not the flashiest name on the roster, his impact has been undeniable.

“Boston feels like home now,” Harris said during a press conference at TD Garden. “The fans, the organization, the city—it’s a special place. I’m proud to wear the B on my chest and committed to doing everything I can to help this team win a championship.”

Full Faith, Full Guarantee

The five-year extension includes a full no-movement clause, a sign of the franchise’s confidence in Harris as a long-term asset. The guaranteed nature of the deal—uncommon for a player of his age and experience level—speaks volumes about the Bruins’ vision for the future.

According to team insiders, the front office had been in discussions with Harris’s agent for weeks before finalizing the agreement. Sources close to the negotiations confirmed that the Bruins see Harris not just as a top-pairing defenseman, but also as a potential alternate captain in the near future.

“Jordan has all the intangibles,” said Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery. “He plays the right way, holds himself accountable, and never takes a shift off. This is a guy you build around.”

Building Toward Banner No. 7

With Harris locked in, the Bruins are fortifying a defensive core that includes veterans like Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm, along with young standouts such as Mason Lohrei and Jakub Zboril. The balance of experience and youth has created optimism among fans that the team’s championship window remains wide open.

After a solid 2024–25 season, in which Boston finished second in the Atlantic Division, the Bruins are now eyeing a deep playoff push in 2026. While the team ultimately fell short of a Stanley Cup Final berth last season, insiders believe this latest commitment shows that management is all-in on developing long-term success.

Fans and Teammates React

Bruins fans were quick to react positively to the news, with many taking to social media to praise both Harris and the organization. “The kind of player you win with,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Smart move. Let’s hang another banner.”

Teammates also voiced their support, with Bruins captain Brad Marchand calling Harris “one of the most dependable and professional guys in the room.”

“We’ve watched Jordan become a leader in real time,” Marchand said. “He’s the kind of player who makes everyone around him better. Couldn’t be happier to have him here for the long haul.”

Looking Ahead

With the extension now complete, Harris says his focus is fully on improving his game and helping the Bruins return to Stanley Cup contention.

“I want to grow every season,” Harris said. “I know the expectations in Boston are always high—and they should be. We’re not satisfied with just being good. We want to be the best.”

For the Bruins, locking in a cornerstone defenseman like Jordan Harris signals a clear direction: the championship chase is far from over, and Boston is doing everything it can to ensure that its best years are still to come.

“We’re building something special here,” Harris concluded. “And I want to be a part of it every step of the way.”
