Just one in a million move why I just can't stand Pierre Dorion, worst manager I have ever seen after Milbury

I might just be a hater but, I think Brannstrom is already a comfirmed bust and not worth the pick
Ignorance.
He has paced for 24 pts per 82 games pace since 2020-21 (21 y/o) and was Top-30 in defensive metrics last season. If he starts putting a bit more points on the board (which could happen based on xGF), his value would become quite high

I don't want to get into a huge debate but, nothing about his stats suggest he'll be an Elite puck moving defenceman like he was supposed to be.
Ottawa's defense was pretty bad for a long time and the kid couldn't carve out a decent role, has even shown any flashes of being a top 4 guy?
He's only 23 but, Philly has York already and I'd guess they have a prospect that is either younger or shown just as much potential as Brannstrom has so far
You're scouting with hockeydb.com. It is worthless

And yes he has shown he is ready for a bigger role, he is stuck behind Chabot and Sanderson when everyone is healthy but has looked even better when Chabot was injured
People were wrong on him, he's not a pure OFD (which is why some still think he's a bust), he's a 2-way D-man who retrieves puck and move them swiftly out. Excellent transition game
