Boston Bruins

D · Boston Bruins

Plus-thirty as an undrafted rookie at twenty-seven, and a five-on-five record that says he broke even.

Sixteenth percentile in shot attempts, twentieth in expected goals, and eighteen minutes a night regardless.

Concedes the outside on purpose, and it worked better than almost anyone noticed.

A hundred and nine shots in fifty-six games from a fourth-liner, and eight goals to show for it.

Two hundred and fourteen games spread across ten seasons, which tells you the shape of it.

Sixty-six penalty minutes, six goals, and a contract that has followed him around.

D · Boston Bruins

Four hundred and forty-eight games at twenty-seven, and still being asked to play the third pair.

Six foot four, a hundred and forty penalty minutes, and twelve goals — the job as it exists now.

A six hundred and fifty point career, and the worst underlying season of any regular forward here.

Six foot five with a puck-mover's instincts and the second-worst results on the blue line.

The eighth overall pick is now a useful third-line centre, which is not nothing and is not what was promised.

A hundred points, and only twenty-nine of them goals, which has never been true of him before.

One appearance, seven goals against, and a career that has been almost entirely spent waiting.

The one arrival whose underlying numbers are better than anything Boston had.

A first-round pick at twenty-four with 170 pounds on him and the numbers running out of patience.

On for thirty-two goals and twelve against in four hundred and fifty-eight minutes, which is not a real thing.
