I don't see a deal for Brannstrom ever really making sense for both sides. If it's a prospect for prospect swap, I think Ottawa is pretty much always losing, because I don't think any team is giving up a Brannstrom level prospect to get a different prospect. Prospect swaps usually only happen with struggling prospects, and I would still classify Brannstrom as a blue chip D prospect.
As far as trading Brannstrom for NHL players, the only NHL players it would make sense to part ways with Brannstrom for, are players who would cost way more than just Erik Brannstrom.
