With Branstrom and Boqvist, since they are on the smaller side, they need to produce offensively to remain on an NHL roster. Teams are only going to keep so many sub 6 football (lighter players), on their 23 man roster, typically only like 3-4 of them. They are no longer prospects, at 24/25 given the amount of pro games they have under their belt.Not a guy you want in your top 4, not a guy you want on your bottom pair.
He just has no role. Isn’t defensive, isn’t good offensively, isn’t physical or big, isn’t a great skater.
He’ll bounce around for another few years on short term deals.
