Kinda funny, the DRW board who are the most finicky, "spoiled", group on the net sort of give Brunner a free pass. Yes he leads the NHL in shots (so I heard) but does he really deserve to play with Z and D?? Is he a game changer? Yea he's playing good hockey but given this type of opportunity is bizarre.
I'll answer my own question and say he is the best hope we have. Filppula is way stronger than the Brunner and I'd love to see him on the 1st line but Fil has his own role to play. Franzen?...yea we already know that answer.
Don't get me wrong, he is doing fine and is going to grow much this season. I like his personality and he gives 100%. By the 3rd game he is adapting well. But hearing our past team names thrown around, Hull, Shanahan, Yzerman,...I don't know I'm hoping he can get more physically agressive and take over like them. The puck may follow Brunner but I'd like to see a little more FIRE from a 26 year old on the wing with Dats and Zetterburg.
