A clear message has been sent and it's a crucial decision on a Boston Bruins forward who is in dire need of a new contract this summer.

The Boston Bruins are in the midst of starting their first summer in quite some time without captain Brad Marchand.

As general manager Don Sweeney controversially embraces his 're-tooling' mindset, we will witness several players likely be shipped away shortly, but one about forward Morgan Geekie?

Morgan Geekie was one of the team's rare positive storylines of the 2024-25 season, recording new career highs with 33 goals and 24 assists in 77 games as a 26-year-old forward.

The young forward was certainly playing for his new contract that is in need, as he's a restricted free agent come July 1st, and the Bruins could look to re-sign him before then.

His current salary is $2 million and is expected to double due to his production, but will Don Sweeney be down to match his pay raise

The general manager surprisingly has confirmed to 98.5 The Sports Hub's Ty Anderson that Geekie will indeed remain a Boston Bruin next season, which is quite the interesting choice.

Sweeney openly admitting that Geekie will 100% be back in a Bruins jersey now gives the 26-year old forward great leverage in contract negotiations, as he's well aware how thrilled management is to potentially have him back

“Sweeney says Morgan Geekie will be on next year's team.”

Given how well Geekie has played this season, it really is no surprise that he will be retained by the Bruins, but the question now lies on how much the career-high performing RFA will earn?
