He probably didn't see a spot that would open next season for him on Detroit's roster, and chose the team that was most likely to give him an opportunity to play right away without the crushing pressure of Montreal or Toronto.

That's why they didn't promise him a guaranteed roster spot. He chose to go to Dallas because he's going to get playing time there. Now what does that say about the Wings' depth compared to the Stars'? Brunnstromm's been getting lots of attention because he's a "free" player, not because he's expected to lead the league in scoring. Why can't people understand that? The Wings don’t need Brunnstromm.

I bet it won't be long before Wings fans start flooding Wings blogs with how this guy sucks, he couldn't make their team anyway, blah, blah, blah. Every team in the NHL wants this guy and he picked the Stars. Nice choice in my always humble opinion. Now if only the Stars can end the series on a high note also...
