[Irf] Sounds like Erik Brännström will be joining the Canucks in Florida. Played in two games for the Abbotsford Canucks after being acquired in a trade with Colorado.

4 games in and we’ve already cycled through Forbort, Desharnais, Juulsen, and now Brannstrom.
I feel like we should have given Cole the money rather than pay both Forbort and Desharnais. At least Cole was a very good 3D for us for long stretches.

I jokingly responded to someone yesterday about how Brannstrom isn’t the answer to our woes, but he honestly couldn’t hurt at this point. Any sort of puck movement from the 3rd pair would be a breath of fresh air.

3 assists in 2 games… per Abby watchers he’s been very solid, and offensively super strong (dangling all over the place)
Let’s see what he can do

I like that the Canucks are a pretty umlaut-heavy squad this year.

The defense this season makes that Horvat trade look brilliant.

At this point, why not. The blue line after Quinn Hughes and Hronek has been really bad, and they need someone who can move the puck quickly out of the zone.

Hard to be worse than Juulsen, Desharnais and Forbort. Like actually hard to be worse than those players. And it’s even rather difficult to be worse than Myers, but half our D are.

Brannstrom is an NHL level Dman who can more than win his minutes in a 3rd pair role. One look at his games in Abby lets everyone know he doesn’t belong there.
Pair him with Forbort and let him cook. Excited to see some connectivity on all 3 pairs instead whatever the fuck Forbort-Juulsen was.
