EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk, who logged three goals and 15 points in 61 games this past season, has earned himself a regular spot on the Bruins' blue line, where his wheels and ability in the transition game have been assets. The 5-foot-9, 174-pounder's plus-21 rating in 2017-18 is a testament to his responsible defensive play. Down the road, with a little more assertiveness on the rush and with his shot, the mobile 24-year-old could see an uptick in his offensive production.
