Don't tase me, Brome.

But, seriously, it looks like he's got some skill.

 

[Mister Ed]

Free talent, without using a pick. Nice! It's going to be a one year contract, I'm assuming.

1 year 2-way deal

 

[Mlotek]

Brome, welcome to Grand Rapids.

Its funny, the past two or three years I would always sign him in my NHL games lol to see Detroit actually sign him is weird. Im excited though, sounds like a solid get.

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Every time I get excited about one of these signings they disappoint. I’ll just be pessimistic for now.

Honestly, I wondered why this name sounded so damn familiar.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Is he supposed to be AA's replacement?

 

[Dotter]

Is he supposed to be AA's replacement?

I thought that was Zadina.

 

[MBH]

Can't hurt.
Come 2 years or so from now, with all these picks, we're going to hit a contract crunch.

 

[Konnan511]

Will he be a Lenio/Brunner or one of the countless Euro stars that could barely hack it in the AHL? Anyone actually ever watch him play?

 

[Konnan511]

Any insight to what this article says behind the paywall?

 

[MBH]

What Swedes are still left?
With Ericsson's departure expected, it's like, Ehn and Lindstrom.

both those guys had some success in the NHL.
Leino in particular.

Agreed. Will he be one of those two who played for the Wings or will he turn into a bust like a bunch of the other guys?

I really liked Brunner. I thought he had a chance to be an NHL regular for years. It's too bad it didn't work out. I'll always remember that OT goal he scored in the 2013 Playoffs against the Ducks.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

I've read "Advanced 200 ft. game & speed", stats increased every year...& paraphrasing: should be able to transition.

Brunner & Leino were serviceable for a year, for free, so that's what I'm hoping for. Anything more is icing. Would love to have the next Kubalik caliber steal.

Brome, welcome to Grand Rapids.

Haha, so basically he'll spend a few months in the US and then go back to Mora on loan?

Nemeth and Timashov. That's 5 if they all make the roster, which is a lot.

I wonder if this kid can score with LGD as center, lol.

Also, I assume this means Perlini is gone.
