Most Vancouver Canucks fans will agree that pre-injury Brandon Prust was a great player to have on the fourth line. Post-injury Prust, on the other hand, was not. And that seems to be the main issue for him in the pursuit of a new club.
On October 27, 2015, Brandon Prust suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for 11 games. Prior to that, he was a solid option for the bottom six — a typical bottom-line grinder who brings toughness to the lineup. But afterwards, it only got worse, mostly because he didn’t take enough time off after the injury.
