Player Discussion Erik Brännström - D - Part II

[Oral64]

If Branny isn't go to play for Ottawa, then he needs to be sent back to Belleville. One wonders if he could find some chemistry with Thomson. I envision the two forming a possible third pairing in the future.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

How is that very wishful thinking? He projects as top 4 without question.

Without question. So a for sure top 4 D.. I must have missed the memo. For sure top 4 D.. thanks for sharing

Pretty mind-blowing. Kid looks like he might find himself in Europe in a few years; far cry from a sure fire top 4.

Brannstrom very well might be an important part of this team's future but that's up in the air right now.

He was sent back already

I said he projects as top 4 D for sure. That doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to become one.

be a a sarcastic ass as usual though

That’s an exaggeration. He’ll be an nhl player regardless

lol

People love taking it to an extreme 1 way or the other lol.

Kid is 21. Writing him off as a top 4 is silly as is saying he's guaranteed to be one.

Folks want instant success these days. Not everyone is Makar, Hughes, Heiskanen, etc. A little patience does wonders.

 

[Ice-Tray]

He’s close, but does he have more to go is the question. I hope so.

 

[Mingus Dew]

I don't think it's an exaggeration. I think it's unlikely that he flames out of the NHL but it's a non-de-minimis possibility given his play this season.

Damn lawyers and their latin...

I didn't take out the student debt that I did to speak the Queen's English, that's for sure.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Hope he plays tonight. That Belleville team needs it

Branny is in tonight, and hopefully he sees action with Thomson. The other four D-men tonight are Alsing, Dougherty, Goloubef and Labrie.

Blueliners watching tonight's contest are Aspirot, Calisti, LeBlanc, Rippon and Williams.

I hope he grows 3 inches while he is there.

 

[Sweatred]

I’d like to see the Sens use Brann on PP1 (sometimes). I think he may be a better distributor than Chabot at the top of the umbrella.

Replace Chabot or redesign to use 2D and remove Dadonov.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

I’d love to one day see a Kleven-Brannstrom pairing

I have liked his work on the pp more than Chabots this season.

Having both of them on PP1 would be great, one of them would be a one-timer option, which the pp lacks at times.

 

[topshelf15]

We so need his speed in the lineup,gives our D much more different looks as well

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I’m in the try brannstrom on PP1 camp.

 

[cudi]

hopefully uses stuff like this as motivation lol
