AaronGavey and JiriHrdina were the only one to mention Brzustewicz in the trade thread and only in passing. No focus, no detail, just a mention in passing as possible player. Two posts in a thread of thousands prior to the trade. I wouldn't suggest there was a real buzz going on about Brzustewicz, he was more an after thought if thought of at all. Outside of Aarongavey (trade thread), JiriHrdina (trade thread), Sandman (draft), Royal9 (draft), RingofFire (draft), Sureloss (draft) and myself (prospect rankings), Brzustewicz was not mentioned by anyone prior to the trade going down, in any thread. So in context, Aarongavey and JiriHrdina earn kudos for being the only people to have mentioned Brzustewicz as a possible pickup. Jiri even framed it as "So Kuzmenko+1st+lesser prospect.
It's slim pickings".
