»Scouting Report
 
Role with the team:
Brunette is the team's offensive setup man who can also crash the net and bang home garbage.
 
Strengths:
Good offensive skills, smart player, natural leader.
 
Weaknesses:
Average skating, bad defensive positioning.
 
Potential:
Brunette is the left winger that the Wild have on the 2nd line to provide leadership on ice and a crashing offensive presence in front of the opposing goalie. In 2003-04, he thrived in front of the net and became a part of the other team's defensive strategy. Bruno does need to work on skating to be a season round thread though.
