WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 I am not putting too much confidence in him right now. Looks like he can be effective when he wants to but his last preseason game he was pretty invisible. Anyway where does he start 13th forward? That's an unfair viewpoint. 3 games in 4 nights will make anyone look invisible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedBengals 27 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 good point. didnt think of that Nyquist lit it up each game. It seemed like Brunnstorm didn't know how to handle not being the biggest, most physical guy out there and those hits in the second Toronto game threw him off his game. I don't know, he's got lots of talent for sure, just don't know if he doesn't need some AHL time to polish him up. We'll see, it's a 2-way for a reason. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 I have LOVED this guy from the beginning and really thought that he would earn a job here....for some reason, i think it was meant to be!! I really like this kid!!! And by the beginning you mean a couple years ago when you heard the Wings were interested in him That's an unfair viewpoint. 3 games in 4 nights will make anyone look invisible. Except for Nyquist.

Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 That's Fantastic, I was really pulling for him to get a 2-Way Deal!! He had a great Camp and really proved that he wanted to be on this team by his play in the preseason. I can't wait to see what he can do in GR and when the Wings will call him up and see what he does there. Nice Job Fabian, good things happen when you're willing to work hard for it.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 I was impressed with him in the PS, more so in the early games, but I'm happy to have him signed, especially at that price. But he's got to keep working hard every night, he job is not done. When Mursak returns, whoever is worse out of Emmerton/Brunnstrom/Miller will be waived/traded.

He's starting in Detroit, and will only play in GR if Detroit waive him and he clears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 It would be great to allow a three for one style trade now... Nyquvist and an acquired player with Mursak. That could be made possible now thanks to this addition. Perhaps we can fleece Burke in the process! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 I am so happy for Brunnstrom.

Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Adding a little bit here.... Bruno's number for the season will be 76, short of 96 this what he was allowed to wear. If 15 was good 76 better be 5 times better....plus 1. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be waiver exempt it's all about age and games played and number of seasons. It's quite messy to say the least. The difference between one way and two way is how much you get paid in the minors.

RedBengals 27 Report post Posted October 6, 2011 I thought Nyquist looked more talented than Brunnstorm, but Brunnstorm has got the size and if he can clog up the front of the net he's shown he's got the hands to deflect shots in all day. Great finisher. Nyquist is gonna get more experience in the AHL then step up and burn it up. Lots of young talent in the preseason though, Brunnstorm is just the tip of the new wave gonna be coming in. Things look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Babcock says... "I think Brunner's a guy who eventually will be able to challenge for a top-six (forward) spot. I really believe that," Babcock said. "We understand it's a long year. We're about winning today and that's our focus."He's in a tough spot, but I'm not concerned about it. I talked to him a number of times. He's getting better, working hard. He'll get in a game." Perhaps more importantly, Brunnstrom says... Brunnstrom said he can't complain. He knew what he was up against when he joined the Red Wings on a tryout in training camp."This is the best group of forwards in the whole NHL," Brunnstrom said. "It's going to take a lot of work (to get in the lineup), but it's a lot of fun to hear that (he has top-six potential)." The Red Wings have five days off before their next game, Friday at home against Columbus. All Brunnstrom can do is work hard in practice and bide his time. "Of course I want to play, but the last two years have been so miserable and now I feel good," Brunnstrom said. "I'm on a great team with great guys. I feel like I'm (getting) better every day just by practicing with these guys. I'm having a lot of fun. Next step is to play some games." Best quote from Brunner so far: "It's been a tough two years for me; at times it wasn't as fun as it was before," Brunnstrom said. "But here, I wake up every morning and feel like 'Wow, it's a great day for hockey.'" http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2011/10/red_wings_mike_babcock_fabian.html Edited October 16, 2011 by Red Wings Addict 3 lil Wing's fan, Namingway and TheDetroitRedWings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
