GM Don Sweeney decided after the season ended not to re-sign the versatile veteran Chris Kelly, who sat out most of the 2015-16 campaign with a broken leg. Another veteran, Max Talbot, also played his last game on Causeway Street, sending Sweeney shopping for the perfect morph of that duo to fill a variety of roles from regular shifts to faceoffs to penalty killing.

Tuesday, the Harvard grad found it in a fellow Crimson alum for the tidy sum of $900K for one year in veteran Dominic Moore. At 36, Moore comes to Boston for his 10th NHL team since 2004 when he broke in with the Rangers after being drafted 93rd overall in 2000.

While Moore won’t stand out on any roster, don’t be surprised if the former Harvard captain — who played each of his four college seasons at TD Garden in the annual Beanpot Tournament — vies for the annual 7th Player Award next April. That goes to the Bruin who exceeds expectations in the 41 home games.

In 2015-16, Moore skated in 80 games, registering six goals and nine assists, while also contributing one goal in five postseason contests. Moore was the 2013-14 recipient of the Bill Masterson Memorial Trophy, given to the player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”

He registered a career-high 32 points during the 2010-11 season. His career log is 89 goals and 156 assists for 245 points with 427 penalty minutes in 765 NHL games.

Most impressive is the 6-foot, 192-pound forward and Thornhill, Ontario native — who ranks 11th in Harvard all-time scoring — played at least 73 games in each of his last five playing seasons. Moore may well challenge Patrice Bergeron for best faceoff percentage on the Black-and-Gold roster.

“He’s outstanding on faceoffs and defensive play,” one NHL exec said about Moore’s proficiencies.

It all adds up to an addition for Sweeney who is intelligent, gritty, durable, cost efficient and a leader on and off the ice
