Brendan Gaunce
Boston Bruins Center #50
Two hundred and fourteen games spread across ten seasons, which tells you the shape of it.

Last Season
Two goals and four assists in 25 games, minus-one, at 11:54 a night. His five-on-five minutes were played in Columbus.
The Finesse Game
Forty-seven unblocked attempts and two goals in 25 games, median distance 31 feet. Thirty-five points in 214 career games is the whole story of the offence.
He was a first-round pick in 2012 on the strength of a junior scoring record that never transferred, and the club that drafted him gave up on it a decade ago.
The Physical Game
Six foot two, 222, and it is the reason he still gets contracts. He is heavy on the forecheck, he protects pucks, and he can take a defensive-zone faceoff.
The Intangibles
Two hundred and fifty five-on-five minutes is too small to conclude much, and what there is reads mixed — 51.2 per cent of the shot attempts, which is fine, against 47.6 per cent of the expected goals, which is not.
He is 32 and this is a thirteenth-forward job he is holding by being reliable and available. Ten seasons of that is a career, and there is no dishonour in it.
