Matt Beleskey's deal with Bruins is for 5 years, $19M, sources say

Forward Matt Beleskey is joining the Boston Bruins, he confirmed Wednesday night via Twitter.

He signed a five-year deal worth $19 million with the Bruins, sources told ESPN.com.

Considered one of the top free-agent targets this offseason, the 27-year-old left winger recorded 22 goals and 10 assists for 32 points, including a plus-13 rating, in 65 games for the Anaheim Ducks during the 2014-15 season. He scored eight goals with one assist for nine points in 16 postseason games.

The deal includes a no-trade clause in the first two years, a source told ESPN.com, and the average annual value of the contract is $3.8 million.

During his seven seasons in Anaheim, Beleskey played with both top-line centers Ryan Kesler and Ryan Getzlaf. Beleskey could fit nicely on one of the Bruins' top two lines.

Beleskey made $1.35 million during the 2014-15 season. The Ducks originally selected him in the fourth round (No. 177 overall) in the 2006 NHL entry draft.
