8. Brett Connolly
Bruins fans never got a real chance to see what Connolly can add to the lineup. The big right-winger is not afraid to use his body to his advantage, and fits in with the usual Big Bad Bruins attitude. Connolly played only five games for Boston last season before being sidelined by injury, but his toughness and grit were clearly in line with his Boston teammates. In his 50 games between Boston and Tampa Bay in 2014-15, he posted 17 points, proving that his offense was there and that he can be a dependable offensive asset.
