History
Signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent at the age of 23 after emerging as one of the best young left wings in all of the SEL during the 2007-08 season.
For a good portion of the 2007-08 season, Brunnström's excellent play fueled the fire. However, he faltered down the stretch and was a non-factor in the playoffs for Färjestads, as he netted just one point in 12 games. Thus it is very debatable whether or not Brunnström was even the best forward on his own team last year, let alone the best free agent in Europe as some have claimed.
However, he should not be downplayed too much. He is a dangerous offensive threat with good speed and good puck protection. He's a capable backchecker and has an assortment of unexpected moves in his repertoire. He may not take the NHL by storm in his first year, he might not even be NHL ready, but he certainly possesses intriguing potential.
