I never was a big fan. But isn't it more about him being mishandled and playing on his weaker side? When given a chance on his stronger side he did quite well? He is still a good player, and could probably excel on a different team.
 
If you want to read a detailed summary of his experience to date:

Never in my life have I seen a prospect mismanaged to the extent of Erik Brannstrom

One of the best puck movers on the team - unlike Chabot who often skates it out, Brannstrom shows superior vision, outlet passing and stretch passing abilities. He's also crafty on the point and good at distributing the puck around the offensive zone. Some Sens fans would prefer him to Chabot on PP#1.

His main issue is his size and lack of physicality which can get him into trouble around his own net. DJ Smith is an "old school" coach and has shown a wide range of levels of trust in Erik.
