Suter will never be scratched
Guaranteed playing time is a big deal. That’s what will lead to a big second contract.

I dont think hes NHL ready so hes gonna be in the A a bit. Guy was a dumpster fire turnover machine the second half of his season. 2 much hype.. Hes gonna bust . Perhaps teams like Detroit and Dallas are offering him NHL minutes the second he signs? Eventho hes not ready. Maybe Buffalo wanted him to start in the A.
I know Dallas isnt officially out but looks like they arent making the playoffs . So maybe they are offering him NHL minutes this year.

Thank you Elon!
there is no bigger opportunity for him than in Chicago.
beside the vast history we have with signing NCAA UFA's, we have an immediate spot for him in our top 4 plus top power play time to give him...and oh yeah, he gets to play with guys like Kane, Toews, Keith, Schmaltz, DeBrincat, Seabs, etc...lots to like here for a team like the Hawks that need 1-2 of these guys, just signed Sikura as well...and 22,000 asses in the stands per home game.
Hawks are very much in on him, Bowman was out there a few times to see him 3-4 weeks last I heard - most of the names I am hearing just makes no sense - the Hawks makes tons of sense for a quality team that is not rebuilding/will bounce back and instant playing time.

It's an important factor. Brickley has to sign an entry level deal, so there's limited guaranteed money that any team can offer. Playing in the NHL versus the AHL is the difference between making $925,000 (and possibly more in bonuses) and $70,000.
He probably wouldn't publicly admit it, but I imagine Will Butcher saw the Devils LHD depth chart and figured he'd have a better chance of cracking the Devils roster than he would on other clubs.

Thank you Elon!
he will be guaranteed NHL playing time, only way he signs with a team, plus the team will burn 1 year off his ELC - so ignoring your other ridiculous point, he will not be in the AHL period.

Hes not NHL ready... I get this is HFBoards where prospects are seriously overrated but this guy is not close to NHL ready.
AmericanDream
Thank you Elon!
oh it is the board of overrating prospects, but he is NHL ready, he will be 24 years old, watched at least 15 games alone this season he played in. Isn't a f***ing doubt he is NHL ready. He is DeKeyser on steroids, and DeKeyser hasn't spent a second in the AHL...Brickley is better than Danny D was at the same stage.
Not per the GM. Said he was glad to have the opportunity and respects Brickley's decision making process.
From someone who has seen a good portion of his college games, I'd say he's a #4 at the very best. He has the puck skills to be more than a bottom pairing guy, but I still don't think he's a particularly strong prospect. I felt he had a somewhat disappointing junior season. His mobility is still a bit of an issue, and he's been prone to egregious turnovers (including a big one in his last college game).

Sean Shapiro, a Dallas writer, said that the Stars are one of the team in on him
Edit: as I continued to scroll down I see this is mentioned already. My bad

Looking like Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota and possibly Boston are the four finalist.

RIP King of Pop
Does anyone have an idea as to how to create him on NHL 18? I want him on my franchise mode. Does anyone know where I can get that information? I know PetrPuck does these kinds of things, but not until later on in the year (I believe). Thanks.

Somebody on twitter mentioned both Boston and Minnesota as finalist, But they're not reputable so take it with a grain of salt then.

The only reason i can see him in either LA or San Jose is because he's from Salt Lake City, Utah and they would be closer to home. Other then that neither LA nor San Jose make any sense here.

dude our d is complete trash, this would be a good move
Three AHLsers in:
Jensen
Ouellet
Kronwall
bottom four guys in:
DeKeyser
Daley
We've got Green moving on from us after the season is over. We have literally nobody to run a powerplay, he'd get opportunity there for sure.

Like i stated in a previous post, He'd probably be one of our better D men, So why not give him a chance here?
