Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Bonino is a veteran forward who can be used in a variety of roles. In San Jose he was deployed in all situations. I don't see Bonino being used on the Pittsburgh primary power-play but he can match up against second lines and definitely contribute on the penalty kill. Bonino doesn't play a heavy game (only 17 hits on the season) but he's proficient shot blocker (74). In short, he's a bit of 'swiss army knife'. The Pens are familiar with the player and he plays to an identity they trust. Adding more draft capital (in San Jose) is sound business - even if the picks are later in the draft.
