Bruce was given a very unfair hand in Van. He was put in a terrible position, as he was stuck between ownership and Rutherford. That room was dealing with Horvat vs Miller, the circus that was Horvat's future, and was only given one top 4 defenseman to utilize.
His consistency in Washington and Minnesota shouldn't be forgotten.
