Good post as usual.

Brannstrom is lower than Bean was at the time he was traded in terms of overall value IMO. I'd say he's probably close to a low 2nd, maybe even a high 3rd. Draft pedigree doesn't matter as much that long after the actual draft

Yes but results do tho

He was the 24th highest scoring D last season

Just because the league mostly ignores pts/60 doesn't we should fall into that too, it's just a way to factor in TOI to scoring, easy to look up these stats now

High quality post

👍

The perceived depreciation factor is big but I think you can trust that waiting another year will fix the situation I mean he really is so so good

Selling low could be absolutely devastating 😵

Once he matures physically a bit as he moves further into his prime he'll be too good to keep out of the lineup and already put up nice numbers last year

If people can't understand that 13 points in 30 games* is a actually quite good then they have no business evaluating hockey much less being in charge

*0.43 pts/g which was better than EK65, Dumba, etc.

Anyhow this sucks so much

Brann deserves so much better than this scenario

He's earned it

Yes the Nylander Jokiharju move won't be forgotten any time soon.

Where would Strome fit into your value perception?

Lmao cap. He was on pace for 35pts last year playing low minutes. He’s already a 2nd pairing Dman

The absolute maximum that I think Chicago could get for Dylan Strome is something like what Calgary got for Sam Bennett.

However, I think that a 2nd + a prospect/pick that has less value than Heineman is more likely.

Chicago might have to retain some salary as well.

The difference in a Kravtsov for Brannstrom trade to the Jokiharju and Nylander trade is that neither of the latter has done anything in the NHL where Joki had showed some promise vs Nylander not.

Kravtsov for Brannstrom makes sense as a player for player trade but idk about it making sense for the teams.

Doesn’t make sense for the Rangers but I think it’s fair. It’s more risky for Ottawa because Brannstrom has looked good, was on pace for 35pts last year playing low minutes. Had some pts in preseason too.

I didn’t realize Brannstrom has 60 games in the NHL. I would expect him to get a decent run this season again based on that.

Were waivers a part of why he didn’t make the team? Looks like OTT forced the LHD-RHD pairs based on the depth charts on here.

We went and signed MDZ and Brannstrom was the only guy we could send down. We should’ve waived one of the other Ds but didn’t for some reason.

I doubt they give up on him since he was a major piece in the Stone trade. Not EK trade

You mean Mark Stone?

o_O

Yes. My bad lol

Any interest in Jesper Boqvist?

I agree that it would be a 2nd + 3rd/prospect valuation but more than anything I would like to see Strome given more of an opportunity. I am one of the few Hawks fans who still believe he has good upside. Maybe a coaching change would be beneficial, time will tell.

I'm sure there will be from some team out there.

But it might not be from Ottawa.

If there's one team that might want him, it's Columbus

Because his bro Adam is there and they could help each other reach that next level of performance.



His value is a bit hard to pin down.

I couldn't find a good comparable in which a player in a situation like Boqvist's was traded.



Taking a shot in the dark, he might be worth a 3rd that has a performance based condition attached to it.

If the condition is met, the 3rd would turn into a 2nd.

I'll never understand why Dorion hangs onto assets for dear life until they depreciate. I think he just has no idea what asset management is, I mean a lot of people don't. Maybe he thinks he's only managing people.

Yes Brannstrom is another depreciating asset but for now he still has good value, but the clock is ticking. Look what happened with RFAs Rudolfs Balcers, Logan Brown, Anthony Duclair... They didn't seem to be in long term plans, we hung on to them for some reason and finally didn't get any value for them. lol I hope they won't do the same for Brannstrom

Just trade him for Kravtsov and try to salvage the disastrous Stone trade a bit (although that 2nd rounder turned into Egor Sokolov)
