Confirmed Trade: [VAN/COL] Tucker Poolman (20% retained) and 2025 4th round pick for D Erik Brannstrom

[Rowlet]

Another goal for Brannstrom. Goals in back to back games now

Two in three, he didn't score against the Isles

 

[Canucks LB]

He makes a small mistake early, so what does he do?

He absolutely has a massive hit, makes like six perfect passes, and scores a goal later in the game.

This kid is something else, man, he’s going to be in our top 4 within the week.

Love this shit man

 

[mriswith]

He should be in our top 4 and never get dropped down again with this iteration of the roster.

 

[JAK]

Vancouver just seems to be able to get a lot out of Swedish players.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

3rd best Dman on the Nucks. Now I dunno if that's a good or bad thing but that's what it is.

At this point honestly, we need a defensive partner for Brannstrom so he can play in our top 4, so we can bump Soucy and Myers down to the bottom pairing.

Kid is legit, he's been playing like a top 4 defenseman the past couple weeks. A must resign.

 

[Mike Jones]

I'll ask this here: People around here talk about Brannstrom as a third pairing defenseman. He seems to be stuck there. Why is that? The way he's playing he'd be on the second pair on some teams.

Marcus Pettersson looks to be a great fit.

Marcus Pettersson looks to be a great fit.

Tocc hates playing defensemen on their offside.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I have no idea what you are talking about. This is absolute nonsense, Brannstrom was a joke in Colorado this year. Couldn't even outcompete Kylington for a spot and you want him to be a winger? Are you seriously joking fam? I lost IQ posts from this.

And the Aves lost a cheap top 4D when they gave away Brannstrom.

 

[beachcomber]

If Brannstrom is the third best D then it is good for Brannstrom but bad for the Canucks.

Watch him play right now, you won’t be thinking this.

 

[Peen]

Please LB please man

Vancouver just seems to be able to get a lot out of Swedish players.

I swear it's like Finnesota getting the most out of their Finnish players, and incidentally BC has the most Swedish Canadians.

 

[Breakers]

This thread is still going ?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Why is a thread about a cap dump by Vancouver where they got a guy they immediately waived still getting bumped at this point

 

[archangel2]

This thread is still going ?

Some Canuck fans feel the need to brag they won a trade

 

[Empoleon8771]

Marcus Pettersson looks to be a great fit.

Speaking as an outsider, I actually think it would make more sense to run with Pettersson-Myers and Soucy-Brannstrom. Brannstrom played primarily RD in the past and I think the mixture of those pairs complement each other extremely well.

 

[Turin]

Every time I log onto HFBoards.com I see this thread. Why?

Why?

 

[Bender]

Good for Brannstrom if he found a good fit for his play style.

He was really abysmal for the Avs during pre-season - he just kept turning the puck over and over.

Maybe being placed on waivers lit a fire under him but he certainly lost his spot on the Avs with his awful performance during pre-season.

 

[Canucks LB]

Please LB please man

It’s true
