Bruins of the past: Players you probably forgot played in Boston

The Boston Bruins have added some pretty interesting players over the years, but you've probably forgotten about many of them over the last two decades.

When you think about this topic, there's at least one player who will immediately pop into your mind. Now, some were better than others, but it's always interesting to reflect on players of the past.

With that being said, let's take a look at the players you probably forgot wore the Spoked B since 2000.

Marty Turco - G, 2011-12

Remember Marty Turco? His gold pads were awesome, but his stats in Boston were subpar. Turco played for the B's during the 2011-12 season and went 2-2-0 for the Black and Gold with a 3.86 goals-against average and a .855 save percentage. Not exactly ideal, but he did only play five games for the Bruins. 

Sergei Gonchar - D, 2003-04

Yes, Sergei Gonchar had a short stint with the B's. Boston acquired the two-time All-Star from the Washington Capitals during the 2003-04 season in exchange for Shaone Morrisonn and their first and second-round selections in the 2004 draft. Gonchar tallied 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 22 games with the Bruins, including playoffs.

Brad Boyes - RW, 2005-07

Brad Boyes pretty much began his young career with the Bruins after playing just one game for the San Jose Sharks during the 2003-04 season. He tallied 103 points (39 goals, 64 assists) through 144 regular season games with the Bruins before being traded to the St. Louis Blues for Dennis Wideman. 

Zach Hamill - C, 2009-12

The Bruins selected Zach Hamill with the eighth overall pick in the 2007 draft, and it's one of the worst first-round picks ever made by Boston. In 20 games played with the Bruins, Hamill notched just four assists. His entire career was underwhelming, and 2012 was his last year in the NHL after three short seasons. 

Mike Mottau - D, 2011-12

The Bruins acquired Mike Mottau and Brian Rolston in a trade with the New York Islanders in exchange for Yannick Riendeau and Marc Cantin during the 2011-12 season. Mottau played just six games for Boston, and did not tally a single point. He was also a minus-1 in those games, but he wasn't the big get in the B's trade with the Islanders. 

Brian Rolston - C, 1999-04 & 2011-12

Sure, you probably remember Brian Rolston's first stint with the Bruins from 1999-2004, but he was also acquired in the Mottau trade, and played 21 games for the Bruins during the 2011-12 season, tallying 15 points (three goals, 12 assists).  The forward was actually pretty productive for Boston in his first go-around with the organization, recording 236 points (101 goals, 135 assists) over four and a half seasons. 

Carter Camper - C, 2011-12

There's not much to say about Carter Camper. He played three games for the Bruins and tallied just one assist. Those three games were the only ones he saw in the NHL.

Joe Corvo - D, 2011-12

Joe Corvo was decent for the Bruins in 2011-12. He tallied 25 points (four goals, 21 assists) in 75 games with a plus-10 rating. He's another player that there's really not much to say about because he only spent one season with the Bruins. 

Kaspars Daugavins - LW, 2012-13

Kaspars Daugavins spent just three years in the NHL and was acquired by the Bruins off waivers from the Ottawa Senators. He played 12 games for Boston between the regular season and playoffs and registered just one assist. The then-24-year-old had a pretty underwhelming stint with the black and gold, but he had a cult-like following nonetheless. 

Wade Redden - D, 2012-13

The Bruins acquired veteran defenseman Wade Redden from the St. Louis Blues during the 2012-13 season in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick. Redden played just 11 games for the Bruins between the regular season and playoffs and tallied four points (two goals, two assists). He had a pretty successful career with the Senators, but it was odd to see him finish in a B's uniform. 

Andrej Meszaros- D, 2013-14

The Bruins acquired Andrej Meszaros in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers during the 2013-14 season in exchange for a third-round draft pick. He played just 18 games for Boston between the regular season and playoffs, and tallied seven points (two goals, five assists). 

Niklas Svedberg - G, 2013-15

Niklas Svedberg actually wasn't a horrible backup goaltender during his tenure with the Bruins. In 19 games played he went 8-5-1 with a 2.31 GAA and a .920 save percentage. The only time he spent in the NHL was those short stints in two seasons with Boston. 

Simon Gagne - LW, 2014-15

Simon Gagne played just 23 games for the Bruins during the 2014-15 season, and it was his last one in the NHL. The then-34-year-old tallied four points (three goals, one assist) and didn't necessarily contribute much on either side of the puck. 

Max Talbot - C, 2014-16

The Bruins acquired Max Talbot from the Colorado Avalanche during the 2014-15 season in exchange for Jordan Caron and a sixth-round pick. Talbot scored just two goals and eight assists through 58 games with the Bruins — not his best, but he never really was that strong of a player to begin with. He hit the 30-point mark once in his 11-year career. 

John Michael-Liles - D, 2015-17

The Bruins acquired John Michael-Liles during the 2015-16 season from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Anthony Camara and two draft picks. He tallied just 13 assists through 59 games with the Bruins, but proved to be a decent acquisition for Boston.
