Now that we’ve gone through sixteen player profiles, we have finished our journey. Unfortunately, Jake DeBrusk and Matt Grzelyck didn’t make the time on ice requirement for a profile, as those are the brightest spots for the Bruins, at least from an analytics point of view.

There were a few great questions and comments from our readers this series, and I wanted to address them in a more formal context for all of our readers to see.
