cripplereh Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Seems like a steal at our pick. Hard work will get him in the NHL. Solid pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Dizzle Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Fun fact, the last time the 75th overall pick was used on a defenceman was in 2006. The oilers took Theo Peckham.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 If you could steal one trait from an active NHLer, what would it be? Hunter Brzustewicz, D, Kitchener Rangers (OHL): Watching these playoffs, Radko Gudas. He's just been a prick. That's a big one for me. Just watching him and learning and seeing his mentality has opened my eyes. What would you do if you weren't playing hockey? Brzustewicz: I'd want to be in something with sports. A sports analyst. My favorite is Stephen A. Smith. I'd like to be him, talking about basketball and football. If you were a goalie, what would you paint on your mask? Brzustewicz: Maybe my three favorite athletes: Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady, and Kevin Durant. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2665087 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Will have to see how he translates to the bigger, faster pro level. Not having a standout skill might make it tough to impress, but he may be one of those dependable prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which illustrates that it's not just a players talent but the quality of the team/ teammates they are playing on/ playing with. As we have discussed in the draft thread imagine if Danielson had the same quality of linemates Benson had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to acquire and seemingly hold their value if it comes down to a trade. I don’t see an issue. Hronek Willander Brzutewicz Woo Myers ( likely gone soon) juulsen Burroughs Bear McWard Celebrini pretty decent depth. If even one of these picks turns out as a top 4 you’re looking pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho_Path Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) I think it's because of his interview. Him talking about how he wants to become a sports broadcaster like Stephen Adams and how he's interested in basketball and football as well as other sports. His initial comment in this interview that he needs to be more focused on his mentality towards hockey probably scared away teams. Kinda seems like he's not fully invested. Still, with that talent, clearly he's putting in effort. I'm excited. Edited July 1, 2023 by Psycho_Path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopROBlemo Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I haven't been to any Rangers games in years.Even though I live in Kitchener.I have a hard time supporting them because of their name. But if Hunter is still on their team next year I think I will give it a go and support this young man.Maybe at least go to the teddy bear toss again.

It's a pain in the ass to find OHL streams. We will also have Kirill Kudryatsev playing for Soo Greyhounds, so two birds with one stone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but this isn't a great argument considering scouts would have already had a detailed book on him from his year with the NTDP U18 team. But he kind of had the opposite problem there in that the team was too good, as he was pretty solidly stuck behind Lane Hutson and Seamus Casey for offensive and powerplay opportunities. I've been keeping my mouth shut about this pick because of course it's a fine pick and a lot of sources ranked him earlier, but I always found him somewhat bland, and there were other players I would have preferred. Good to read on here he's trying to model his game after Radko Gudas, because I'm not convinced he makes it on offensive skill and upside alone. There is a decent frame there though and some solid combine numbers, so I'm hopeful he can develop into a solid two-way defenseman. By the way, everyone talking about Celebrini being older brother to Macklin, but Brzustewicz' younger brother Henry looks like a bit of a prodigy as well, and could go very early in 2025.
