As some of you know, former Omaha Lancer forward Brett Bruneteau had become unhappy in Omaha and asked for a trade. Today he was dealt to the Indiana Ice for 2nd round NHL draft pick, Nico Sacchetti.
I think this makes sense for both parties involved. Hastings grants Bruneteau his trade and acquires a solid play maker in return. Indiana receives a 3rd year forward who can come in and help them lead the team and he should get a shot to see top line time, and Hastings avoids sending him to a West division rival.
It will be odd seeing a Bruneteau not playing for Omaha, as the Bruneteau's have a long history with the Lancer franchise.
Also, here is the Indiana release.

Hastings must really be a clown to have a home town kid refuse to play for him.

Fact is that Brunetau wanted to play in a more offensive system. He did not like Hastings defensive first system.
I've heard Brunateau is a loose cannon.
indiana got the better deal, imo
third year vet in bruneteau for sachetti who is going to pull a patrick white and only suit up for 15 games and play high school hockey instead.
yea, you guys are right, hastings is a complete idiot, only sending over 300 players to college and having like 50+ drafted by NHL teams. why don't you guys apply for the lincoln job and show him how to do it!!!
You guys (girls) rock!
I don't want the Lincoln job.
Both players should be valuable players for the USHL-QMJHL matchup in August.
heard it wasn't so much Brett as it was his daddy!!
He felt a lot of pressure and the offensive style coach was teaching wasn't what we was looking for..so he wanted to be traded..I'm sure some of it was because of his dad too..but whatever makes brett happy is what he deserves.
