The top pick for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2024 NHL Draft draft, Harrison Brunicke brings good size at 6’3″, 196 lbs. and the ability to move the puck up ice. The second round pick looks like a fairly safe bet to develop into a serviceable defenseman at the NHL level given adequate time and proper coaching. Brunicke probably projects as a defensive defenseman at the NHL level, but expect a jump in points with the Kamloops Blazers in the WHL in 2024-25.
