By Bryan Reynolds -
"In his new role with the Wild, Brunette will assist General Manager Chuck Fletcher in all aspects of the team's hockey operations including scouting, free agent signings and helping with the evaluation and development of prospects at all levels of the organization."
After the 2003-04 season, the lockout killed the idea that players like Brunette could still play the game. He was "slow" and there were constant questions about his skating. All Brunette did after the lockout was score 135 goals and add 242 assists in his final seven seasons, including a 83 point season in 2006-07.
Brunette will, no doubt, go on to a long career either in the front office of NHL teams or in the broadcast booth. There is no denying that Brunette's personality and unmistakable laugh will be a welcome presence in the Wild organization.
Welcome home, Bruno.
