It's been generally regarded that Brylin for a long time has been the best utility man in the game. He can and has filled so many
roles for the Devils over the years.
That's probably why it took a few years for him to become a full timer, going up and down between the Devils and the River
Rats. Trying to find the right spot for him, but with the depth the team had, it was better to keep him playing in Albany than
waste away as a healthy scratch.
Once on the main roster, though, he did it all at one point or another. A scoring line forward, center, either wing, a checker, part
of the power play, a penalty killer... Actually, I think the only thing he hasn't done was play the point. (I'm sure one of my friends
will verify this for me, yea or nay.)
He's even played fourth line at times. It was on a more regular basis in 07-08, and it showed in his points production.
But you can't take away just how useful he was over the years. I mean, after all, useful enough to win 3 Stanley Cups.
