The Bruins have signed Gaunce to a one-year, two-way deal with an NHL cap hit of $700,000.

The 25-year-old hasn't produced much offense at the NHL level (six goals and 15 points in 117 games to date), but the 2012 first-rounder gives the Bruins some added size (he's 6-foot-2 and 217 pounds) to their depth forward corps and will be a candidate for bottom-six duty with the team in 2019-20.
