I would love to see how conversations between management and the coaching staff go in these situations.
Rick: "We want big physical defensemen and forwards that are gritty."
Allvin: "Ok so we brought in an undersized soft defenseman and a forward who doesn't care to play defense (Sprong). Give them a chance...."
Rick: "Uhhh ok sure."
I could tell you in October this wasn't gonna work out because Tocchet hates these guys. Why bother even bringing them in? How do we know better than Allvin? We should have just signed Philippe Myers....
Defensive depth and puck-moving are for losers!!
Generally, he just isn't very good. Willy is going to be plunked in the roster down the road plus there will likely be a trade so Brannstrom is definitely expendable at this point.Problem is that he hasn't been able to move the puck effectively while at the same time he was getting absolutely caved defensively in the last 10-15 games he played.

Overall you are right, but he has done it a few times this season. I am just showing it doesn’t have to be as it isn’t always.
The fact of the matter is, you need some of what Branstrom brings on the backend. He is a very limited player, and if this was last years team, he would.d have probably been the first guy I would waive easily… but this you need what he has, cause NO OTHER DMAN on the team does it… besides Hughes.
