Another RHD 😍
If this guys nickname isn’t Bruiser than consider me shocked
Solid pick, nice surprise getting him in the 3rd rd.
« How many RHD do you want this draft? »
Alvin: « Yes »
Steal to get him in the 3rd

As a long-time fan who’s just watched 30 seconds of game tape, I can say with certainty that he’s Him.
Another great skater/passer. RHD PP quarterback. Steal
Hearing he is mobile, great edgework, puck mover, pp qb, holds the blueline, consistent player. Needs to work on his own end. Modern-day defender in terms of puck-moving and fast north-south.
That’s what I’ve found out about him real quick.
RHD, Michigan born but playing in the OHL. Most rankings had him as a second rounder and apparently in his D-1 year he was pegged as a potential first rounder but his first year in the OHL didn’t develop as well as needed to be one.
Really like this pick a lot
57 points in 68 games in the O as a RHD… Can someone tell me why he was available in the 3rd round?
Reading a few reactions from people who have watched him and seems like a good pick at 75. Scouts had him going in the second round
A bunch of scouts had him going in the second round, including Scott Wheeler who had him ranked #40 and on his ‘best 5 players still available after round 2’ list on the [Athletic draft tracker](https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/nhl-draft-2023-live-picks-results-order-news/zX8y9h1n1jxz/) (paywall).
I’ve never heard of this guy until today, but sign me up for another mobile, playmaking RHD with okay size
Solid pick at 75 👌🏻
good shit. 100% D picks please.
Great pick
Name alone is a steal.
Allvin probably saw my posts about how Jett Woo was the only RHD Van has taken in the top-100 in like 20+ years.
BPA ainec.
That’s a made-up name
Sorry, using this as a 2-7 round game thread since there isn’t any – but hoping we can get another steal with our next 3rd round pick – hopefully a centre?
On another note, that’s crazy that Heidt was only snatched until the very end of the 2nd round, would’ve been an amazing pickup if we had a 2nd round pick, he was fully projected to go 1st round.
Love this pick been rooting for hunter for awhile now. Super mobile, high IQ player and imo has an underrated def game. If it wasn’t for his early career injury problems he’d be a sure fire first round pick.
Wasn’t super excited with the first round pick, but really happy about this third rounder. These are the kinds of guys you want to be collecting in later rounds.
So is his last name pronounced, [Zust-which]?
Solid, solid pick.
Ceiling is Bobby Orr, floor is Ray Bourque.
Measured size from the combine is 5’11.75 and 190 pounds.
If this guy makes it to the big club I’m so buying that jersey for his last name alone!
By all accounts, a steal. I like this pick. Can’t wait to see him play with the rest of our prospects!
I thought we’d need a [Second](https://reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/14lwn5u/kate_pettersen_obviously_i_cant_fall_asleep_so/jpyqnev) to get him, so I am pleasantly surprised.
My new favourite drink is Irn-Brzu
Move over Gretzky, Hunter Brzustewicz is the true hockey legend!
Brzus there it is!
Apparently quite the steal of a pick. Nice work!
Good pick, high drive levels.
Montreal wanted this guy but Carey Price didn’t allow it when he saw the the last name
How is this dudes name supposed to be pronounced? Bru-ste-wich?
