Not that he's a world beater by any means, but Erik Brännström is a better player than Josh Brown, Victor Mete and Nikita Zaitsev.

Zero reasons for him not to be in a lineup that features 3 NHL defensemen. Zero.

Brannstrom would have been curled up in the fetal position or hiding on the bench in a heavy game like this.

Where is this coming from? Brann got hit alot last year but he is one tough little sob. He would get right up and always played fearless.

Ironically it's big bad j brown who hears footsteps anytime the puck is near him.

Of course he would .. We would have won.

dont know about would have won but if that was defense with j.brown and mete skating around then any player in the fetal position would be a massive upgrade

hell put sabourin back there and tell him to stay in the fetal position

The effort was there but the intelligence wasn't.

It was an entertaining game for sure and there is some good to it but it also made very clear how bad our D is.

We need help immediately. Zaitsev, Brown and Mete should not be in the NHL.

There is no cavalry coming soon. Sanderson will not arrive until college hockey ends. The probabilities of the other prospects being the solution is low.

Dorion trades are not the answer either. Zaitsev is probably OK on the 3rd pair; however, Brown and Mete are not the answer but do have NHL contracts given to them by the GM.

I would have liked to see how Brannstrom would stack up against a team like Washington. Big boys, heavy on the forecheck. I don’t think it would have been pretty.

Brann should draw in imo, but this was absolutely not the game to do it. I wouldn't have had Mete in, either.

Lmao, get over yourself dude. Christ almighty.

You think I'm making excuses, I think you're catastrophizing and that you sound silly.

If this is how where you're going to take the discussion, I have no interest in continuing it.

Lol if you can't take this mild arguing you might as well stay away from HF, bud. What a lame-o.

I genuinely feel bad for Chabby. He's incredibly talented and I think his play gets overlooked sometimes just because of how much dead weight exists on the blue line.

God, I hope this team can get to a strongly competitive place soon enough that prime Chabot is still performing so the league can see just how good he really is.
