Plus we can get rid of Girard if he works out.Brannstrom would be a really good add for the Avs honestly. He's had a couple good years for Ottawa.
Not much size but a decent puckmover and actually decent defensively. And he plays the PK. Averaged 1:30 a game with the Sens last year so he could take some minutes for us on the PK also.
I feel like he isn't a guy that would get a league minimum deal though so I dunno where we get the money for him honestly.
He feels like someone who will get $1-1.5M.
Nope... he's better than Malinski, but just barely.Does Brannstrom really fill any specific role...? I'd kinda prefer if we added someone with more size and physicality on the bottom pair...only Manson brings anything in that role right now.
He's a winger not CWhat about Motte for 4C?
Rather add the more skilled Dman now when it's free to do so, and then add a meat-snd-potatoes RD at the deadline instead.Does Brannstrom really fill any specific role...?

We are in no hurry to make moves. We can start the season as it is, we are under the cap. And only Nuke is giving us cap relief. Landeskog and LOC are counted against the cap, and we are around 4.5M under with this Brännström signing.Avs gotta move someone and that guy is Girard, ideally it’d be Nuke.
Niiice

It's counting Landy, but not Nuke. If/when Nuke returns, we have to make moves. But like I said, we have time to deal with it.Is that counting Landy and if/when nuke returns?
It's a reclamation project. Worst case scenario, he plays for the Eagles.Brannstrom is just a weird fit here as a bottom pairing guy. He's small, good/not great skater, doesn't PK well, and not talented enough offensively to take a PP role over Makar, Toews and Girard. He's going to mostly end up a risk/reward 11-12 minute a night guy who Bednar doesn't trust.
He'd better than De Haan, Malinski, Rosen, and MacNorris (sorry) though, so there's thatBrannstrom is just a weird fit here as a bottom pairing guy.

No.Can we get rid of Girard please?
Yes.Is this going to be the nth year in a row where people expect the Red Wings, Sens, and Sabres all to take the next step and then they will all miss the playoffs again?
Not short on contract spots, I just don't see the fit. The AHL team has enough puck movers, even if he could pass through waivers (which I'd guess he wouldn't as some bad team will take him).It's a reclamation project. Worst case scenario, he plays for the Eagles.
We aren't that short on contract slots are we?
I don't think he's better than De Haan or Rosen. It is about the fit though. There is no real PP opportunity and the Avs could really use a guy to take some PK load during the season.He'd better than De Haan, Malinski, Rosen, and MacNorris (sorry) though, so there's that
