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

He should be in our top 4 and never get dropped down again with this iteration of the roster.
Vancouver just seems to be able to get a lot out of Swedish players.

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.

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

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.

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.

Another goal tonight (although it'll likely get changed to Raty).
Some nifty moves as well. His confidence is booming

The Canucks seem to be doing ok when I look at the standings. How are the Aves and Sennes doing?

Every single time Chabot would get injured in Ottawa, a young and inexperienced Brannstrom would step in and knock it out of the park.
If you pair him with a steady defensive player you have a strong top 4 defensive and puck possession pair. It is proven.
Invaluable depth to have.
