Brickley has earned a roster spot with the Panthers, according to General Manager Dale Tallon, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports. "Brickley had a great camp, was basically our last cut," Tallon said. "[Brickley] earned a job. It started in rookie camp, continued on. He's been terrific every day. He didn't just have one day.''

Analysis:

Brickley turned up 22 goals and 25 assists with AHL San Antonio last season. He was the 50th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, so it will be interesting to see how the two-way player handles the rigors of the NHL as a rookie.
