I'd disagree on that.
Brunner put up 16 points in 16 games during a January through February stretch. For the other 30 games he had 10 points.
He also put up nearly half his points on a PP that consisted of him, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Franzen and Kronwall. It shouldn't be that surprising he was able to put up some decent numbers.
Inconsistent, small, offense-only oriented players are not the type of guys that Baertschi should be playing with at this point in his development.
