Brzustewicz is one of the feel good stories in the OHL this season. He's on pace to, potentially, reach the 100 point mark as a defenceman.
Used in all situations at the junior level. Average plus defender. Stocky strong. Solid skater. Not a pure burner - but not slow.
Sees the ice exceptionally well in the offensive zone. Accurately distributes the puck. Identifies seams / open lanes to make plays. Leans distributor more than shooter.
The kind of prospect who might end up on the third pairing at even strength but should find a home on one of the power-play units as well.
