They may eventually do that, but from what I've read the team prefers him at LHD... at least until he really established himself at the NHL level. Also, guys like Chabot, Zaitsev, Wolanin, and Gudbranson are far more ready to take on top-4 minutes, so you're really talking about a 3rd pairing role. And if Brannstrom really can't earn his ice time away from the likes of Reilly, Brown, or Zub, then maybe he actually does need a bit more AHL time.

Another 30 games in Belleville wouldn't hurt Brannstrom. He gets himself in trouble a lot when he carries the puck and he doesn't have hands like Chabot. Has to learn to pick his spots.

I love the Murray trade, at his worst he's still an upgrade on Nilsson and at his best, he can win you series. Will be a great option while we develop Gus and Daccord.

Looking over what happened last night, I'd say a few things....

#1. I was hoping for Byfield but I am much more excited about Stutzle then I thought I'd be.
#2. Sanderson should be a good 3/4 D in the next few years... But I still can't figure out why they didn't get Drysdale, that guy would have been our #2D perfectly. But hey, we got the second best D in the top 10.
#3. I'm really excited we picked up Greig. He was projected to be in the teen's during the draft so I'm very happy about that.
#4. I still hate those jersey's
#5. I am absolutely shocked how far Rossi and Perfetti dropped so far down.

#1. It would be interesting to find out who the Senators preferred, Byefield or Stutzle. I like our pick.

#2. Dorian said during his interview on Team 1200 that they ranked Sanderson number 4 and were happy Detroit picked Raymond. I don’t know where you have been to not know how good Sanderson is. He will be the Senators best D Man in 3 years.

#3. I don’t know much about Greig but during Dorians interview he said if they did move up it would be to draft him. Mann was ecstatic Greig was still on the board.

#4 I still have one of those old jerseys so I am happy with it.

#5. True but this is the deepest draft in decades so some players had to drop.
