Traded Erik Brännström - D - Part III

[Wallet Inspector]

Lol. There’s at least one poster on here who has proposed ~50+ Brannstrom trades in 2023.

There are definitely people who want him gone.

What I meant was, virtually everyone is fine with him being a bottom pair D for us this season, especially since he has potential to grow, it's just that he might have to be the odd man out to create cap space.

Saw him live tonight and very impressed by him. Seemed to be the D that the his weight around the most ironically and usually worked out re: gaining possession

 

[redbrick98]

Tough guy.

He blocked a nasty shot today, weathered thru till the end

He’s definitely a tough kid, never been in question.

That's another game where we kept the shots against under 30. Defence a big part of that.

The goal differential and shot differential along with how well our goalies are playing are the real story of the season thus far.

I don't think we've played excellent competition yet (aside from the Hurricanes) but we've handled the teams we have played very well.

Carolina was a winnable game but mistakes cost us.

That's a relief.

Just like Chabot, let's see how well we do without him.

Time for the F to step up and play some smart hockey. Puck possession and be on the right side of it all game.

No time to pad stats, we need to lock it down and hope our PP can get going.

I say this not 100% seriously, but the guy we should trade is Zub.

I have never been as enamored with him as this board is. He was directly responsible for that 2nd Flyers goal yesterday. He doesn't move the puck as cleanly as the others nor does he move as gracefully.

I know it would leave a hole. Brann would have to move up into the top 4 and we'd call up a guy like Guenette or Mantinpalo. Not sure how big a hole this would cause.

But we could probably get a 3rd for him and solve our Cap problem.

Do you still feel that way? If anything they need another Zub.

Glad to hear he is on the mend and on his way back home.

The suggestion to trade Zub is the most idiotic suggestion. He is the only player of his ilk in this franchise, a top-4 shutdown defenceman. It's not a coincidence that the team, with its lack of depth in that area, has been giving up a very high number of quality shots against/scoring chances since he got injured.

Glad to hear Brannstrom is ok after that scary incident.

I think many have been clear they don’t see a role for Brannstrom due to size regardless of the pairing he’s on.

Sorry for the delayed response.

 

[BankStreetParade]

@L'Aveuglette Can you tell the little homie we're all thinking of him when you see him?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hopefully Bran is ok and this does not linger .. I'd like to see Kleven come in to replace Brannstrom . Have we heard the roster moves?

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

Don't know how close (to returning) this means, but ...

Tua Tagovailoa came back a week after he got rocked in 2022

I’m just laying out selective facts here

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Hope people realize now how valuable Brannstrom is to this team.

But probably not lol.

Just Zub and Chabby then Branny third, for the three players out.

So he is valuable? Especially since Chabot has never had a healthy season?

 

[Xspyrit]

Brannstrom is perfect to have, he is the insurance when a transition D-man is injured

 

[DrEasy]

For Halloween I should have worn a Brannstrom jersey. Dude got killed and is already back from the Dead. Plucky little demon!

Well the fact that he’s on the ice again is nice

 

[Micklebot]

DJ saying he participated in all the drills today and looks good but not sure when he'll be back.

Nice, ya could depend on how he feels tomorrow, Zub didn’t feel as well the day after he ramped it up. So we’ll see, hopefully he’ll be good for back to back practices.

great news for the little giant!
