The 2010 second-rounder brings speed and solid puck skills to the table, traits that make him an asset in man-advantage situations. Still, his overall numbers in 2016-17 (11 goals and 28 assists over 78 games) were somewhat disappointing, and given that he's not known for stellar work on the defensive end, there had been speculation that the Bruins might look to deal Spooner in order to pave the way for Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson to move into the team's third-line center job. While it's possible that Spooner could be moved down the road, he'll look to retain a key role up front for Boston, and if power-play time is in his 2017-18 job description, he'll posses a degree of fantasy utility this coming season.","date":"Wed Jul 26"},"fullName":"Ryan Spooner","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Spooner took his offensive game to the next level last season, locking down a full-time role en route to 13 goals and 49 points, with 17 of those markers on the man advantage. Those numbers look even more impressive when you consider that he barely averaged 15 minutes of ice time per contest. On the downside, the speedy Spooner skated to a minus-9 rating which was a stark contrast to the Bruins' goal differential of plus-10. His shortcomings in the defensive zone can be attributed to a lack of size (5-foot-10, 184 pounds) and physicality. Given that Boston is crowded with talented playmakers up front, including veteran newcomer David Backes, it wouldn't be surprising to see Spooner reprise his role as a bottom-six winger, making it tough for him to crack the 50-point plateau.
