Okay Brannstrom I see you

Created by: Sens_Sicko
Team: 2022-23 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 1, 2022
Published: Oct. 1, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Brannstrom just had his best game in a Sens jersey, Holden has said he's comfortable playing on the right side, should be a good pair, they already have some chemistry.

Hamonic has honestly looked great from my vantage point, no reason he can't be the #4 d-man on a team, he knows his role. Sanderson is ready.

Also just gotta say, DeBrincat has arrived. I am fired up for this season.

Your top 2 lines are basically very similar in terms of how good they are. 1a, 1b. I wouldn't worry which one is labelled 1st or 2nd. They will both play between 18-22mins a game.

Keep your picks. Put Zaitsev in the press box. You don’t want guys like B-D eating nachos not playing. Just my two cents

Kastelic over Gambrell at 4th line Center. Outside of that, perfect lineup

We just have no idea about Formenton

Send Zaitsev to the AHL. I think he has personal problems, he looked better in the past

Brannstrom isn't giving up. He's shown he can have great games, but I've never seen him have a game like that. Don't think I saw him make a single mistake. Most fans have written him off, bit He's still going. Best case scenario for Ottawa is still him figuring it out. I'd be happy with any combination of Brannstrom, Holden and Bernard-Docker on the 3rd pairing this year. Maybe Brannstrom vs teams you need to punish offensively and Holden vs teams you need to shut down.

Brassard is getting signed. Sens don't have a better extra forward who can actually play up in the lineup if an injury happens. Plugging Brassard into the 2nd or 3rd line after an injury is much better than pushing Kastelic into the top 9 and putting Gambrell at 4C.

Cat and Roux already developing chemistry. Stützle needs to be with those two in every remaining pre-season game. Those 3 will dominate the league this year.

Zaitsev is getting waived imo. He's not even worth a spot in the press box, Bernard-Docker, Brannstrom and Holden are the 5-6-7 D.

Waiving him works too. I thought B-D was a pretty good prospect? Does he have to go through waivers?

I'm unsure of his waiver eligibility. Doesn't matter though because the way he's played he's gonna play. If I had to guess it'll start with Holden-JBD and Brannstrom as the 7th, but idk where things shake out.

Pretty certain we can send JBD up and down without waivers. The problem with zaitsev is that if we have him in the press box, DJ will play him if there are injuries. I would way rather see JBD come up and make mistakes because he is actually going to learn from them, zaitsev just gets worse and worse. I think brannstrom has the inside track on the open d spot seeing as he has a decent amount of nhl games and has had flashes of excellence, he legitimately looked like a top pair potential defenceman last night (not that I expect that all the time).

Fair enough. Can always just play Holden as the 5D and alternate Brann and B-D. Tho there’s something to be said for consistent minutes
