Here’s a small excerpt from the above article. I thought it would give hockey fans (including Habs fans) more information on Fabian Brunnstrom which is hard to find. I also heard The Team 990’s Tony Marinaro interview Canadiens Director of Player development and Scouting, Trevor Timmins who when asked if the Habs were interested in Brunnstrom stated that the organization was trying it’s best to get him and thought highly of the player.
I’ll have more on what Timmins had to say about some other Habs prospects in a future article…….I’m also hoping to get an audio clip of the interview so I can post it.

What an NHL scout says about Brunnstrom:
“Brunnstrom is a big forward who skates very well. He’s only played in the Swedish Elite league for a single season. Before that, he was in the Allvenskan (one league below). His stats don’t exactly ‘wow’ — 54 games, 9-28-37 points, 16 PIMs, plus 4. His skating is very attractive as he has a long, easy stride with a natural glide. He thinks the game well but still makes some ‘young’ mistakes. He has soft hands and quick wrists. Short stick. However, despite his size he can be a bit soft in traffic. He enters corners yet isn’t the most passionate when he’s there. He has to be more consistently involved. He’s a raw talent. He’ll play, but he isn’t going to be a top two-line player next year. He may need some time in the minors if he goes to an organization that will properly groom him. That said, we have interest.”
