RD Henry Brzustewicz - Shattuck St. Mary's, U14 AAA (2025 Draft)

[Peasy]

Hunter didn't really explode until his 19 year old season. Henry is showing more in his 17 year old season, at least right now.

Also the fact that Henry is playing behind Dickinson and Bonk right now.

Also the fact that Henry is playing behind Dickinson and Bonk right now.

5 on 5 he's been paired with Dickinson this year, but he certainly doesn't get much powerplay time due to them.

He's got really great instincts to complement Dickinson, which has helped Dickinson to let loose offensively this season. Not that Bonk wasn't a good partner for Dickinson, but I think that Brzustewicz can make some better reads offensively to play off of Dickinson.

Would you suggest Brzustewicz warrants mid to late 1st round consideration or is he a stable beginning of the 2nd round target?

Hunter was behind a very talented NTDP blue line as one of the youngest players on the team, so it’s a little explainable. You could see the ability, but he dealt with injuries and was a little behind some very good players.

I'm aware yes, but then he went to Kitchener and was merely good but not great in his 18 year old season in the O.

If Dallas took him with a late first, I wouldn't be upset. Not that I am an impartial observer though.

I predict late first in the 22-32 range

I think he’ll also benefit from the distinct lack of high-level RHD this year. Hensler/Mrtka/Fiddler/Trethewey all seem to be ranked higher currently yet none are really cementing their spot as a must draft RHD. I’m not sure how high he can rise but the door is open this year.

How will Allen being added to London affect Brzustewicz's minutes?

I’d be shocked if you see him in the first round - doesn’t have the specific skill set and hes on loaded London that overvalues talent - or if hes on the bottom 2 teams i dont see any talk of first round .

He won't be Dickinson's partner anymore and will be playing, likely, on the third pairing with Fimis. I think this next month, with Bonk and Dickinson gone, will be critical for him to prove himself for the draft.

Late in the season and in the playoffs, Dale Hunter tends to aggressively shorten his bench to the point where the third pairing and fourth line barely touch the ice.
