Wade Brookbank ?
Just wondering How has he looked ? Is he playing D or wing cause I havent seen much of him in his Vancouver day's but I hear he's not a terrible player for a Fighter.

He has had some really one-sided fights. I mean, he has absolutely pounded some of the AHL wanna-be fighters.
But, defensively, he is a liability. Offensively, he does have some talent and, since he has played about half of the games on wing, he has shown some decent work. He could be a legitimate 4th line wing, kind of like Thorburn in Pittsburgh.
It really depends what is needed more as to where he plays. Recently, a few forwards got hurt (and Bonvie is horrible), so he was playing there. Then, a bunch of D-men got called up or hurt and he moved back to D. I think now we have full lines of both, so it will be a coach's decision where he plays. Personally, I would prefer him as a 4th line wing and then scratch Bonvie.
