The Boston Bruins have locked in right wing Mark Kastelic with a three-year contract extension through the 2027-28 season. The deal carries an annual cap hit of $1.567 million, solidifying Kastelic’s role as a depth piece in the Bruins’ rotation.

Kastelic, in his first season with Boston after three years with the Ottawa Senators, has already surpassed his previous season’s 10-point total in 39 games. He has also nearly matched his five goals from last year with four goals so far. The Bruins announced the extension on their official X account (formerly Twitter).

The extension provides long-term stability for the 24-year-old forward, who has shown potential as a reliable depth player.

What’s Next for the Bruins?
The Bruins’ decision to extend Kastelic comes amid speculation surrounding forward Trent Frederic, who has drawn significant interest across the league ahead of the NHL trade deadline.

According to Elliotte Friedman of The Fourth Period, teams have been inquiring about Frederic’s availability. “The Bruins are getting a lot of calls. ‘What are you thinking here? Will you keep him? Will he be available?’” Friedman said.

Frederic, a standout forward with a $2.3 million cap hit, is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. While Boston has secured Kastelic’s future, Frederic’s status remains a major storyline to watch as the trade deadline approaches.
