Fantasy Summary

Heavily involved on the offensive side of the game, active in the attacking zone and effective at creating opportunities from the point.


Observations

October 2026 – Brunet is trending towards being a decent depth option for the Bruins who can handle the puck safely and avoids risks while hitting anything that moves. He can make some more advanced plays with the puck, but with his role, it seems unlikely he’ll be doing it often, as he’ll be asked to play safe and make sure no new goals enter their net while he is on the ice. Brunet looks mostly to be a good depth option in the NHL with little upside for fantasy, perhaps in banger leagues if he ramps up his hitting even more. Markus R

July 2025 – Brunet has made a seamless transition to the AHL level and even got his first NHL game under his belt at the end of the 2024-25 season. He wracked up a few hits and blocked shots, so the fantasy projection is converting to a bottom four defender that can help your team with those categories. He has not typically put up a lot of penalty minutes or points though, so he is likely more impactful for his NHL team then your fantasy team once he’s playing regular minutes. Ioan Gheordanescu

April 2023 – Frederic Brunet started the season in a leadership role, captaining the Rimouski Oceanic until a mid-season trade brought him to a contending Victoriaville Tigres. The deal didn’t affect his output, as he registered 16 goals and 57 assists in a combined 66 games between both teams. With an ever-growing offensive game and strong leadership abilities, Brunet could be a name to watch after some more time to develop. If Brunet ever gets a chance on an NHL blueline, he has the tools to contribute from a fantasy perspective. Nate Duffett
