In Brickley, the 'Canes land a versatile AHLer who appeared in more NHL games than Sutter last season (23 to 8). He is not expected to see time in the NHL this season, however, and is more of a depth forward at this point.

Obviously, the new Panthers' regime (which is heavily influenced by analytics) did not like Brickley's numbers enough to keep him around. Perhaps Sutter will get a better opportunity in South Florida than Brickley would have received.

Neither Brickley nor Sutter has much in the way of fantasy value at the National Hockey League level.
