Looking at Chicago Wolves.

There's still a few weeks to make a decision on that.


Hague added 2 more goals and is now at 35.

Knights prospect Erik Brannstrom not ready to put away skates

Brannstrom wants to continue playing. But it might not be in North America (with Wolves).

One option is to join the Chicago Wolves, the Knights’ American Hockey League affiliate. But the more likely option is remaining in Sweden and playing for another team, Knights assistant manager Kelly McCrimmon said Saturday.
“Erik is going to have opportunities in Sweden,” he said. “He can return to his junior team and help that team through their playoffs. He’s also a candidate to be involved in the Swedish national program for the World Championships, and that would be a great honor. From a development standpoint, it would be a real valuable opportunity.
“If he has that opportunity, coming to North America at this point would be a nonstarter. We would support him having the experience of being in a national program. We’ll let it play out and see what happens.”

Start the clock.

Start the clock.

I would think that going to the Wolves would help him greatly for 2 reasons:

1. Getting used to NA ice.
2. Still playing against men and helping the AHL team with their playoff run (or to get there).

Erik Brannstrom has 2 goals in 2 games since joining the HV71 juniors for their playoffs in the SuperElite junior league. He's playing with older brother Isaac, who is a forward. May be worth an invite next camp...
