Value of: Vilardi for Brannstrom

[GermanSpitfire]

Swap of ‘17 first rounders in need of a change of scenery.

Brannstrom will allow LA to send down Bjornfot for more seasoning in the minors and give them a legit puck moving defender that can run one their power plays.


Viladri could Benefit from the change of scenery and could allow Ottawa to move on from Tierney as their 3C.

Why does Vilardi need a change of scenery?

He just played 11 minutes in the game against the Predators. Safe to say hes running out of time.

Vilardi is much more valuable than Brannstrom, IMO.

Vilardi is much more valuable than Brannstrom, IMO.

How so? I agree hes a little more valueable but “much”?

Vilardi is a diminishing asset on LA. They Have Kopitar and Danault ahead of him, they clearly have Turcotte and Byfield ahead of him on the depth chart too so hes stuck playing 3rd/4th line minutes. Hes not a 4th line guy. He could be moved to wing but dont think LA is going to do it if they haven't already.
LA needs a defender, preferably a puck moving defender. Brannstrom is that. and hes aged 22 so he fits right in with the rest of their core.

Even if the Kings send Bjornfot down, they still have Anderson, Edler and Maata at LD... which of them do you see Brannstrom displacing in the lineup?

No to trading Vilardi He hasn't played a full season yet Give him time to adapt/ Counter offer for Bra nnstrom Maden or jad

Even if the Kings send Bjornfot down, they still have Anderson, Edler and Maata at LD... which of them do you see Brannstrom dislodging in the lineup?

Probably Anderson. All three of those guys play a similar game so in all honesty, it doesn’t really matter.

Matta without a 2nd thought. He was a aweful defenseman last year forthe kings/

I mean when I watch Gabe Vilardi play, he’s extremely impressive at the NHL level already. Very dangerous and not fun to play against. Much more impressive than Brannstrom, from what I’ve seen. I would personally value Vilardi much more highly based on what I’ve seen.

11 minutes is completely reasonable for Vilardi playing behind Kopitar and Danault. No one here is complaining about him. You might want to check the credibility of the person giving you information about the kings. The kid was out for almost 2 years and he is shown resilience and commitment that is a sign of maturity that we need on this team. The kid is going nowhere I’m also not sure where you got the information that puts Turcotte ahead of him on the teams prospect list. I firmly believe Vilardi will be the Ron Francis to QB’s first line C in time.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Brannstrom is a smurf with average at best skating, don’t see him fetching much. Vilardi always has the injury cloud hanging above him but is the easy choice here.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Dude get real with your ''change of scenery'' and 11 minutes of ice time for Vilardi.

Vilardi is a diminishing asset on LA, he says.

 

[Barnaby]

Why does Vilardi need a change of scenery?

I'm sure Vilardi would love the thought of a change of scenery... from LA to Ottawa...

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Vilardi will be moving to wing when its time for the others to break through, thank you very much.

Little much for Brannstrom.

 

[go4hockey]

Probably Anderson. All three of those guys play a similar game so in all honesty, it doesn’t really matter.

This shows your out of touch with what’s going on in LA No chance Anderson would come out of the line up. We’re not trading Vilardi.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Something around JAD or Fagemo makes more sense to me, no chance we land Vilardi for Brann.

 

[dahrougem2]

Scoring at a 35 point pace in your rookie NHL season means you need a change of scenery?

JAD makes some sense. But I wouldn’t move Fagemo for him, we need the few good wingers that are in our system.

 

[Techcoockie]

LOL at the proposal,

Vilardi is a sure shot top 6 center. Brannstrom is not sure shot to be a top 4 D.

terrible all around and over valuing brannstrom

 

[stempniaksen]

Vilardi is probably a tad much, but nothing else comes close to getting me excited as a Sens fan. Not sure I see a fit honestly.

spoken like someone who doesn't actually watch the kings

Although Brannstrom wasnt a rookie last year, this actually basically applies to both of them. Brannstrom is more likely to be dealt than Vilardi, though.

Vilardi is probably a tad much, but nothing else comes close to getting me excited as a Sens fan. Not sure I see a fit honestly.

I do think Brann gets underrated by some around here... scored at a 35pt pace last year in limited minutes and just turned 22 last month.

you’re*

What's funny about Brannstrom is that the vast majority of Senators fans like him and want to see him in the line-up.

The team plays better and moves the puck better with him playing.

It's outright bizarre how he's being treated.
