Sweeney explained that Peterka would enhance Boston's power-play configuration on the elbow while building upon his highly efficient 5-on-5 production from last year.
"He probably gives us another look on the elbow in a power-play situation. His power-play minutes dipped a little bit last year.
His 5-on-5 production has been really good," said Sweeney.
The Bruins executive noted that while Peterka previously drove a significant portion of the offense for a younger Buffalo squad, his role became more complementary within a top-heavy Utah roster.
"In the Buffalo situation, he was asked to drive -- they were a young group -- and he was asked to drive a lot of offense, and he has the ability to do that," said Sweeney.
Sweeney concluded by emphasizing that Peterka brings a multi-dimensional scoring presence that will improve Boston's overall transition play and offensive zone cycles.

"It's adding the ability to score off the rush but also score off the cycle, but have guys that can score in general shooting-wise," said Sweeney.
