Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[frightenedinmatenum2]

damn looks like a bunch of pros signed Branny

some in here were wrong

He got 1-way money near league minimum. People weren't exactly wrong if they thought he wasn't going to be a hot commodity. At that point, you're splitting hairs.

 

[Masked]

Branny was one of my all time favourite players to meet. And he is a legit 5’ 7”

Dorion should have filed a complaint against Vegas for sending over a munchkin in the Stone trade.

For 900k. That would have worked here too, just not 2 mil +.

no one said he was a hot commodity. He sure as hell is better than hamonic at that price

i doubt he would have wanted to stick around here with how he was treated though

They lied on their official roster listing him at 5’10 when he’s 5’7. Should be fined infinity first round picks.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I like Brannstrom, he's going to win a trophy one day but he won't be able to pick it up.

 

[The Expert]

Same size as Girard, who won a Cup in the “big dmen only” playoffs.

The year Girard got injured early in the second round and didn't play another game? lol

 

[Wondercarrot]

Damn a bunch of pros decided to sign brannstrom. Y’all think you know better than them?

?

He’s making $900k not $2 million.
If we qualified him it would have had to be more than that… you would have spent $2.2 million on Brannstrom?
That would be ridiculous.

Like as has been said numerous times, he wasn’t available for 900k to the Sens.

 

[HSF]

sure he was. Once we didn't qualify him we could have sent an offer of any amount to him. He just decided that elsewhere is better. I mean its the avalanche. They are a top organization in the league

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Wasn’t signing here for 900k, when his QO was around 2.2

Some people still said he wasn’t an nhl d man.

NHL pros think differently

 

[RAFI BOMB]

For Kelly and Brannstrom those AAVs would likely have worked here too.

Kelly turned down an offer from the Sens according to Garrioch

Why is Hamonic relevant to Brannstrom?

How was he treated poorly? Seems like he was well like in the room, and he got plenty of opportunity with all the injuries.

I wish him the best, but there just wasn't room for him with Chabot and Sanderson ahead of him in the lineup. Even less while Chychrun was here.

 

[Emerica]

Mathieu Joseph traded to Blues according to Elliotte

 

[Hale The Villain]

Brannstrom is a guy who will be decent in a 3rd pairing role for the Avs, but they'll probably want to look at replacing him at the deadline for a bigger D more suited for the playoffs.

Put another way, like a small soft scoring winger, he'll help you get to the playoffs but likely won't help much when he's there.

Would have been happy to re-sign him since we're not a guaranteed playoff team that can afford to pass up a perfectly good 5/6 D, but the relationship had probably soured after we didn't qualify him at 2M.

 

[Sens Vader]

Joseph traded

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

We signed Adam Gaudette again

 

[Very Stable Genius]

I feel its a mistake trading Joseph

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I feel its a mistake trading Joseph

Do you see him to the Blues anywhere. I got a text saying Joseph to blues. But don’t see it anywhere

 

[mysens]

More money freed up with JoJo going bye bye....Please sign Pinto already!

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

On the main boards is a Friedman tweet

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Yeah I'm going to wait to see what the replacement is but we're absolutely going to get slower.

 

[Ouroboros]

They paying to dump Joseph?

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Since it’s a cap dump, I’ll be surprised if we get much of a return.
