Description

Erik Brannstrom..... Hello.

Okay, now hopefully DJ makes the smart move and pulls Josh Brown from the lineup, and not Mete.*

*This will not happen.

Also nothing is ever easy is it? The cost of getting Brannstrom (who was easily a top 3 Dman in training camp) into the NHL lineup was sending their Starting goalie to the AHL.

I don't think Brannstrom is the issue, and I don't understand how DJ can't solve this lmfao. He doesn't have a solid defence partner to play with. Holden and Del Zotto are hot garbage, and Mete is good but too offensively minded to be playing with a rookie.

Brannstrom will most likely be paired with Zub while Chabot is stuck with Zaitsev.

As for Mete, he'll be rewarded with a demotion or a Josh Brown for a D partner lol.

Quoting: hazard

Holden is far from garbage imo. He's a more than capable as a stay at home guy, he's just not able to be that AND a babysitter for Zaitsev/Brown AND be the guy breaking the puck up ice. If they let him play with someone like Brannstrom or Mete who ARE good puck movers who can lead the break out, it let's Holden simplify his game down to focus on supporting them defensively. Now obviously having him in the top 4 is still far from ideal, but right now he's the best option they have. In a perfect world he plays 3rd pair with Mete, they bring in a 2nd pair RD to play with Brannstrom, and they fire 22 and 3 into the stratosphere.
