When word came out that the Devils picked up Brookbank, I gave a blank stare. I had no idea who he was.
That was because he was a career minor leaguer up until then.
I did learn this much once he started suiting up for the Devils: he has some offensive skills (AHL Defenseman of the Year), has a
hard shot from the point that he's not afraid to use, and he's not afraid to drop the gloves. (What western Canadian is?)
The team got deeper on 08-09, and he was on the outside looking in frequently. He saw time at right wing in the majority of his
games, though. Hey, whatever gets him playing time.
Even trades do that.
