Brannstrom Desharnais has been a fine bottom pairing. Unfortunately Soucy Myers has also been a fine bottom pairing in top 4 deployment.

Problem is Desharnais is a little bit banged up.

Problem is Desharnais is a little bit banged up.

And kind of sucks too.

That's been because of Brannstrom, not Desharnais. Desharnais away from Brannstrom is a disaster. Brannstrom needs to move up, Desharnais needs to move out.

And on Desharnais: he’s been horrible. And I know he can and may improve, and hopefully will, but this isn’t a team at the stage where we should be targeting projects that may or may not be NHL calibre, and paying them $2 million or year or whatever we are paying.

Still lots of time but as of now looks like a major pro scouting miss.

The view that Desharnais has been bad should lead to an even more positive assessment of Brannstrom, who has been paired with him most of the time, I believe. I really do think it's time to try Brannstrom with Hronek, despite the pressure Hughes put on Tocchet by saying he wanted Hronek on his pairing.

Brannstrom and Hronek. Hughes and ... OK I admit it's a problem. Some surprising defensive specialist rhd they can pick up in a trade for less than a genuine top four guy.

I think Brannstrom has been good but his minutes have been pretty sheltered. He did play a bit with Hughes last game I think with Hughes on the right side and that pairing looked great, at least in the offensive zone, so perhaps a Brannstrom - Hronek pairing could work. Not really sure who you put with Hughes though. Probably need to get external help.

People sleeping on Debrusk. He's a gritty, streaky, scorer and playing that

That's been because of Brannstrom, not Desharnais. Desharnais away from Brannstrom is a disaster. Brannstrom needs to move up, Desharnais needs to move out.

But they’re losing games because that second pairing is getting shredded, much more urgent need.
