Sounds like Brannstrom is a a decent bet to hit waivers over the next few days, so they'll have a crack at him if they wanted him at a lower number.
I don't mind adding Brannstrom at his low salary. Kelvin does need more time.

The thinking that Kleven isn’t ready and Erik Brannstrom would be a better option is insane to me.
Branny is fine until Kleven gets some more seasoning. Kleven has more upside but he could use another 30 games. It’s not a slight against Kleven but it’s the old survive vs thrive argument

Brannstrom can’t survive in the NHL. If we need another LD, okay, but that LD cannot under any circumstance be Erik Brannstrom.

Not sure why Gregor has a guaranteed spot on the roster. It's not like he's been great all preseason.
Unless you want all three of Ostapchuk, Jenik, and Gaudette, I think he's been one of our best 13 fwds.

He kills penalties too, but I don't think he's a lock to be in the starting lineup,
