Brunner turned down two different contract offers from the Red Wings before signing a two-year, $5 million contract with the New Jersey Devils. He managed just 25 points in 60 games during the 2013-14 season, opted out of his contract with the Devils the following season, and returned to his native Switzerland. He most recently played with Biel HC in the Swiss National League.1. Will Dylan Larkin be named captain?
I’m pretty certain that my avatar at another Red Wings site that I no longer visit is still a reference to Damien Brunner that I took from a different defunct Red Wings writer.
