Anaheim Minny trade

Sadly, Brännström's play has really fallen off a cliff. While he was once very promising, now he is almost 22, and I can't see him cracking our lineup. This would push us back, and the probability of Brännström being a bust is too much.

Lol trading Brannstrom for a 3rd line winger would be a travesty

I’d take this as a wild fan. It sets us back temporarily, but I think Brans is gonna be a reliable top 4 guy. He’s too skilled and he lights up the A. I view Greenway as dispensable for this level of return.

Meh, It is when you consider Ott traded stone for brannstrom. But a side from that, Greenway is the prototypical player sens want to build around. In todays NHL a good third liner is pretty much as important as a good first liner. Look at how tampa one their 2 cups. Greenway proved this year that he can be an elite middle 6 forward with his tough-to-find package of size, power, puck protection, agility and instincts.

Branny hasn't fallen off a cliff, he jsut hasn't progress as fast as the unfair expectations that were put on him following the stone trade. He will defintely be a great 2nd pairing d-men, eventually. Sens just seems to have no room for him.

Also, with those wierd buyouts, MIN probably doesn't have room to re-sign Greenway next year especially considering all their other options at LW.

Win-win trade.
