I've come around on Brunette. 1,100 games as an NHL player, assistant coach in the Wild, Panthers, and Devils organizations. Understudy to Quenneville and took over as interim head coach to win the President's trophy. Then to New Jersey where he is part of a staff that sees the biggest single season point increase in the 82 game era.
Oh, and he just happens to have coached our best forward and best defenceman to career seasons.
