New Jersey Devils Lose Andrew Brunette To Nashville Predators
In a surprise announcement, now-former New Jersey Devils Associate Coach Andrew Brunette is leaving the New Jersey Devils to join the Nashville Predators. The Preds had former Devils head coach John Hynes behind the bench, but new general manager Barry Trotz informed Hynes he was moving in a different direction.
Brunette has a long history with the Predators. He scored the team’s first goal back in 1998, although some might say it shouldn’t have counted. 1998-99 was the only season Brunette played for the Predators. He ended up going to the Atlanta Thrashers the next season. Still, the history Brunette brings to the franchise has to be a nice sweetener.
