Hunter Brzustewicz Hat Trick at Kitchener Rangers annual awards

[Reggie Dunlop]

Few days old, but not much else in the way of prospect news...

Brzustewicz was presented with three awards: the Jim Malleck Trophy, the Bob Schlieman Award and the Blueline Club Award. The Jim Malleck Trophy is given to the team’s most valuable player, the Schlieman Award is given to the best offensive defenceman and the Blueline Club Award is for the player that best embodies sportsmanship.

Is he a dark horse to earn a spot on the Flames next season?

I think Poirier is the darkhorse. Bru will need a year in the AHL for some seasoning against men.

Nah, he'll need at least a year in the AHL.

Thanks for posting, that's really encouraging. Will be fascinating to re-evaluate that Lindholm trade in 3-5 years once all the prospects and trade trees are fully matured. Looking forward to seeing this kid at Young Stars in the Fall!

From what I've seen of Poirier with the Wranglers, all he would contribute to the Flames next year is helping them get a lottery pick.

Well I am sure your scouting ability and talent evaluation is top notch!

8sPOT is right. Poirier needs to improve defensively to be a positive addition to the Flames.
