Dallas waives Brunnstrom

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

Guess he didn't live up to the hype.

I still think he could be a decent player if put in a more freewheeling system.

[Guest Heaten]

I remember this board was pretty high on him back in 2008 and wanted Kenny to get him here at all costs...

He did score 29 points with Stars in 08-09, but was a -8.

He'd have to claim him and then put him right back on waivers.

and somehow fit another 600k under the cap.

Kinda funny the Wings dropped Leino and Dallas has now given up on Brunnstrom.

wings outta pick him up. the kid could fit in real nice with the sweds on our team. he just ended up on the wrong team in dallas.

Lenio is at least playing.

if im not mistaken he had a choice detroit or dallas and he picked dallas

he picked Dallas as he felt he could make their roster, unlike the Detroit one. Could he come in, re-place Hommer? same jersey #!

does he have a clause in his contract that triggers off a payment when hes played 100 games in the NHL, as he sits at 99 at present.

He chose Dallas, because he was told he would be on the big club there. Kenny had the same plans for Fabian as he did with Leino. One year in GR to get used to the NA style of play. Fabian took the choice that got him to the NHL quicker. Looks like that worked out real well for him. Sure, he'd be a good project, but we can't afford to put a claim on on him right now. Plus, I've heard he's lazy, and he sucks.

Yeah, its too bad he didn't end up here a few years ago when he had the choice, but at this point I'm not sure we'd really want another reclamation project. I remember the hype about him a couple years ago, and didn't he score a hat trick in his first NHL game?

I'm surprised the article says that probably no one will claim him. He has a cheap hit, there are definitely teams who could use him.

Apparently his work ethic is a complete joke in comparison to Homer's.

Dallas: pays a lot o' money on Brunnstrom, eventually waives him

Detroit: pays less money for Leino, gets a pick (and a spare part) for him

Detroit wins.

Regarding Brunnstrom, while I think he's overhyped, I also think Dallas misused him. He's more suited to a top 6 role, which Dallas has no room for now. A team like the Pens could make use of him.
