Ryan Spooner had himself a solid 2017-18 NHL season in which he spent 20 games with the New York Rangers.
Spooner scored four goals and added 12 assists for 16 points which equates to 0.80 points per game. That’s an impressive number and you might be thinking that perception of Spooner is clouded by recency bias, but he’s shown that he has the potential to be an effective player for most of his career.
The Bruins decided to give Spooner a full-time spot during the 2015-16 season after he impressed with 18 points in 29 games during the 2014-15 campaign.
