from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe, • Low on the radar, but I really like Chicago’s one-year, $2 million deal for forward Andrew Brunette. OK, he’ll be 38 this month, but he consistently gets the job done, for a career stash of 1,032 games and 706 points. He missed all of two games the last three seasons in St. Paul.
• Local agent Jay Fee continues to hunt for a job for ex-Boston University standout Mike Grier. “Ongoing discussions with a few clubs, including Buffalo,’’ Fee reported via e-mail.
• Picked up a rental car in Vancouver last Saturday for a day trip to Whistler (Larry Glick two-tone whistle here) at the very same time Habs great Yvon Cournoyer was turning in his rental (believe his keys were for a vintage Plymouth Road Runner). Prior to motoring off the lot, I politely asked the attendant to pump my tires. He kindly obliged. Just seemed the thing to do in Vancouver, ya know?
