## Resource

Harrison Brunicke, a 20-year-old South African defenseman, got a nine-game NHL stint with the Penguins this season, scoring one goal but showing steady growth through his journey—from World Juniors to the WHL and AHL. Though his NHL time had ups and downs, including reduced ice time and a negative plus-minus, his advanced stats revealed he wasn’t a liability. His standout AHL playoff performance proved he belongs at the pro level. The big question now? Can he become a top-tier defenseman for Pittsburgh? The ideal next step? Making the NHL roster and sticking for the full season—no superstar needed, just consistent, meaningful contributions. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
