No chance I'd do that. I would actually drive to Ottawa to kick Dorion in the balls if he did that

It's pretty well documented on here that Joseph would cost a 2nd to dump and brannstrom doesn't come close to that
Except that...
Blackwell and Tinordi makes 2.45 combined... Joseph makes only 500 000$ more than this but is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade on Blackwell. Brannstrom as well is an ultra significant upgrade on Tinordi. Brannstrom has positive value and is quite underrated here. I sure wouldn't trade him for a stupid 2nd round pick.
So no chance I'm doing that. I'd rather waive Kubalik instead.

It doesn’t take a lot of work to review a team’s roster and prospect pool before making proposals.
And where does it say that the OP is a Sens fan? That's the FIRST thing I do when reading a thread if I don't already know who the OP is.
And by the way, if given the opportunity, you take that and run and sell Brannstrom higher later, his value hasn't done rising

...Brannstrom..., the Hawks may look at their LHD depth and see him as a AHLer in their future.
Damn, the fact that your post got 6 likes is dumbfounding

I don’t get the “we have LHS D prospects” comment. Brannstrom would be their top puck moving DMan by far for this season and next. A second round pick is just not that valuable to a team with all the picks and prospects they already have.
One comment was that they would gamble on Lassi over Brannstrom. That’s just silly!
Thomson might be able to carve out some kind of NHL career but he won't come close to Brannstrom. People underrate him like crazy on this site, It's just that hockey fans in general don't know much beyond what hockeydb.com reveals.
I remember 2 years ago I was flamed when I was replying to people that Brannstrom was NOT a bust. What was their argument? "
can't crack a terrible roster" lol

I figured it had. Sorry for that! When I’m looking at trades that “have to happen” (like Joseph out) and with so few teams taking cap on, I figured it made sense.
If I’m Ottawa I would probably do this deal and add a second or third if needed! Anything to get Pinto in frankly.
Trade Kubalik, such a no brainer. I have like 8 arguments FOR and ZERO for trading Joseph instead (still haven't seen one from anybody, the closest was "
Dorion needs to save face in the DeBrincat trade" lol)
