exactly where does Branbstrom fit on the penguins?
He can't be paired next to Letang or EK who are both prone to massive defensive laps. And he can't play on the 3rd pair on either side aka a largely defensive role.
To take back 2.75 mil in cap. No thanks, they can use that cap better.
Not to mention he blocks the path to Blom who should play at the NHL level next year.
I would be willing to take it if Forsberg was 50% retained.
That way the Penguins could bury him in the AHL to mentor for a year.
