Brannstrom and a 2nd

Made it sound like Zub is a stop gap until future top 4 defensemen JBD and Thomson are ready.
I hope they realize in 2 years that Thomson isn't the D they thought he was when they drafted him 19th OVR and don't let a good top 4 D walk to make room for him.

We have a gap at 2LD but it’s pretty clear we have our top 4 for 22/23 set.
its actually real easy to imagine this. young players who haven't played in the league full time easily take steps back before moving forward. Look at White.
No doubt.If we trade Brannstrom I hope a reporter asks Dorion if it was his 2nd proudest day as GM.
Yes, I also have doubts about Thomson becoming a top 4 d-man. He really hasn't shown much improvement since getting drafted.The comments made after the Zub extension make me anxious... Didn't he say that Zaitsev is "elite"? That with JBD and Thomson coming, our RD will be really strong so that's why it wasn't needed to commit to Zub longer than 2 years?
Or completely cave his value.

Betting on prospects to replace established players has burned this team so many times. I would have liked at least 3+ years from Zub.

Detroit Red Wings' blue chippers, Montreal Canadiens' Cole Caufield headline Top 75 prospects list - TSN.caDoes someone have the top 50 prospect list TSN did a couple months ago? Are their any forwards ranked within + or - 5 to 10 spots from brannstrom on the rankings that we can swap for?
Are you talking about Button's list? Not sure how much faith I'd put in that list wrt determining similar value prospects, based on that we could offer him up for Krebs, Turcotte or Newhook, heck Byfield is only two spots higher, I'm sure LA would make the deal if we threw in a 2nd...Does someone have the top 50 prospect list TSN did a couple months ago?

'on pace' doesnt make him a 45 point player thoughYes he is...69 points in 126 games = 44.9 point pace over 82 games
He has to learn to tone it down.. He says a lot of stupid shitThe comments made after the Zub extension make me anxious... Didn't he say that Zaitsev is "elite"? That with JBD and Thomson coming, our RD will be really strong so that's why it wasn't needed to commit to Zub longer than 2 years?
I know it is far from satisfying for some fans but all of Zaitsev’s coaches along with former Sens D on TSN1200 feel Zaitsev is very good as a top 4 NHL D.Am I completely crazy for wanting to have Zaitsev on my 3rd pairing RD (with some PK) as a stop gap until Lassi Thomson is ready for that role (with 2nd PP TOI)?

We'll be fine on LD with Chabot and Sanderson. LD, LW and G are 3 positions I am not worrying about at all. As of now, it's the 3 positional organizational strengths
But what do you mean our top 4 will be set for 22/23? Who's going to be on RD?
Funny thing about this list is all Brannstrom has done is improve his stock since the release of this.
