Hey I won't tell you guys how to feel about him. All good if you like him.
I don't not like him, he's a top 6 regular season defender without question imo, just not the type of player I want on a 3rd pairing, specifically when playoffs roll around, and I don't think he ever really belongs higher in a lineup on any team looking to seriously contend. Watching this years playoffs gave me a lot of pause to think a guy like Brannstrom can be effective when it counts.
And ya, of course the sting of him being the return for Stone will never not be disappointing, but that part was mostly in jest.
yea i thought it was jest but for the board as a whole im certain Brannstrom being part of the Stone trade is why people want to let him go for pennies even though we could clearly use him.
as for playoffs, rather worry about making them first.
and no one knows how Brannstrom will do in the playoffs. 5 ft 9 Johnny Marchessault just won the Smythe.
