Confirmed with Link: Avs sign D Erik Brännström 900k X 1 year

[LOFIN]

To be fair, this pre-season has been one big letdown regarding almost every player, and the whole team. Not too many bright spots, and the team went 1-5.

I'm not particularly worried, but doesn't really inspire confidence either.

The 2021-22 Avalanche went 2-4 pre-season and 0-4 on the road.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I was really hoping he could take over for Girard.

Yea not exactly the same level of player

 

[Bone Breaker]

there he goes. Brannstrom is now officially a new member of the Avs pantheon of legends. I personally would not rank him higher than Damphousse though.

CMac gonna lose rep for trading a player after just signing him if NHL games are to be believed.

No, you delete.

Somehow you f***ers will turn Brannstrom into a 50 pt d-man and make Girard expendable, who will then be traded for a good scoring winger or goalie. Sakic doesn't miss

You lied to us.

I liked the signing at the time, but he simply got outplayed by Malinski for that particular roster spot.

I didn't think Malinski was that good.

It was a battle for who would look the least terrible.

And Malinski won out over Brannstrom the Broken and soft Kyle or whatever their names really are.

I'm sure some echl team is salivating at getting this guy for their second pairing though.

 

[Icelevel]

Imagine trading mark stone for Erik brannstrom with a huge smile on your face and running back to tell everyone how proud you were.

Yeah, we had that guy running our team here in Ottawa. At least you got the boy for free. (And now get a pick back)
Good luck this year boys.

I would hire him as Director of Scouting in a heartbeat, but would never listen to his input on trades.

I've been saying the same thing , ever since he left OTT . He's a scout, as he is great at evaluating young talents ... Like you said dont give Dorion any other responsability or you will regret it .

Unfortunately he'll get a better gig than that somewhere.

Anyway...is this the shortest-lived free agent acquisition in team history?

Trust me. You don’t want him anywhere near your organization in any capacity. Including scout. I will laugh till I die at the organization that hires him next.
