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

[Ice-Tray]

Sabourin always shows up. Do you mean someone else?

Yeah, Sabs did his job. He’d be good in Belleville again

 

[God Says No]

Samuel Fagemo on waivers. I'd pick him up and waive MacEwen.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Brannstrom is better than what kleven has showed this pre season. That for sure.

 

[GCK]

Brannstrom is better than what kleven has showed this pre season. That for sure.

Umm no.

 

[NyQuil]

Brannstrom is better than what kleven has showed this pre season. That for sure.

Brannstrom had an abysmal pre-season.

This is the scouting report:

He panics in his own zone, throws pucks up the middle for turnovers, contributes no offense and is softer than one ply toilet paper on Indian cuisine night.

 

[GCK]

I would like to get Branny to Belleville for depth.

 

[Icelevel]

I would like to get Branny to Belleville for depth.

I think for both our sakes it’s best to move on now. Wish him good luck wherever he ends up.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Umm no.

Yeah. Kleven has a poor preseason. Brannstrom last year was better than Kleven this preseason. Looks like Sebrango was better as well

Brannstrom had an abysmal pre-season.

This is the scouting report:

Wierd because that’s not how he played last year with us? Throwing pucks up the middle? Panicking in his own zone?

I’ll bet there was a lot of pressure to impress in Colorado, having no track record there, and maybe he didn’t rise to the occasion.

I think their record was 1-5 so a lot of guys aren’t going to look particularly good in that scenario.

Argh, I really wish Dorion had signed Branny to a two year deal similar to what Liljegren got when he signed for $1.4 million aav a few years ago. Would've let us keep a cheap and reliable bottom pairing defender.

Brannstrom would probably be on the roster if he didn't cost $2 million to stay in Ottawa and he's more proven than Kleven.

Teams don’t want Brannstrom at league minimum. Why would you want him at 1.4M?

We could claim him today if we wanted to. But I doubt we, or any other team, does.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I'm happy to move on from Brannstrom. He's not what this team needs imo.

I think the team just wanted to move on from him, but I'd rather have Brannstrom at 2 years $1.4 million aav starting instead of paying him $2 million last year which made his qualifying offer $2 million to keep him. It was an overpayment and poor asset management.

I'd like Brannstrom on the roster as insurance in case Kleven struggles or if we get injuries on our LD which doesn't have the best depth.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I think we should pick up both lefty and righty and look to trade jbd

 

[GCK]

Rafai had a good camp will Toronto.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Applying Sens scouting logic, pretty obvious who they'll go with here.

 

[BigRig4]

Lagesson is decent isn't he?

 

[Senscore]

15 more minutes till we find out if anyone gets picked up

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Applying Sens scouting logic, pretty obvious who they'll go with here.

Well at least who they won’t.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Brannstrom would actual be ideal as a LD that has experience playing the right side, as he could also act as insurance if Hamonic continues sucking and JBD doesn't improve, but I do suspect they'll opt for someone like Bolduc or Phillips.

 

[BigRig4]

Apropos to nothing - do teams/players know if they got claimed or won their claim before the 2pm deadline? Ie. are the waivers at 1pm but the list is released publicly 2pm? Something I’ve always wondered.

 

[BondraTime]

I'd be surprised if they grabbed anybody.

Not sure they want to head into the season with a 23 man roster.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Well at least who they won’t.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Looks like it'll be Wolanin and Brannstrom in the AHL together with Vancouver's affiliate. Maybe the two ex Sens can carve out an AHL career together.
