Terms were not released, but the current maximum amount is $975,000 per season, per NHL.com. Brunicke, 18, was the 44th overall pick and the first of the Penguins two second-round selections. Tanner Howe was the second selection at No. 46 overall. Brunicke is a 6-foot-3, 196-pound right-handed defenseman drafted from Kamloops of the WHL, and was born in South Africa.
