I would definitely take Brunner here. He has the better situation going forward and he's younger than Vrbata.
Straight up, keepers aside, who would you rather? Keep in mind Vrbata is on the IR and I will pick someone up in the meantime.

I agree with the others.
I'm a fan of Vrbata, but we've seen what he is and the real benefit of owning him comes from the value where you can normally get him. Brunner is much more intriguing in this scenario.
