We want JJ!

Sorry, will you take NAK?

Brannstrom and Dahlin are buddies. Put them together for a few games see if there is any magic left

Specifically traded for him rather than claim him for free on waivers so we could send him straight down to the A

Without him having to go thru waivers again 

[DarthEbriate]

OK...   I guess some insurance for the Amerks kids in the playoffs. And to challenge Ryan Johnson for 7/8 for the Sabres next season.

 

For the Amerks, is Kozak coming back into the lineup for NAK at some point? Or is Kozak's injury for the season?

He doesn't have to go through waivers to stay in the AHL right now.

Had we claimed him earlier I mean 

[Flashsabre]

He’s an AHL superstar type dman. Good for Rochester’s run. I would give him a game or two with Dahlin at some point. They had very good chemistry at the WJCs

[DarthEbriate]

Contract-wise, Brannstrom is a RFA, which is protection for losing Clague to UFA in the summer.

someone had to do it. You sir will be the 1st

Adam's is methodical in his quest to build a contender.

Piece by piece.

Year by year.

The journey continues...

Brannstrom when he was drafted is a smart player, only thing he is small. I liked his game

And the Rangers could have done the same before he was ever included in the JT Miller deal.  I'd love to know why these things happen so much.  Is it just so simple as needing to create an open slot in order to add the guy?

I really like this move.  Erik was a 1st rd pick and is a talented guy who for whatever reason it hasn't quite come together in the NHL.  He's only 25.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if he competes for a depth role in Buffalo next year.  I think he is an upgrade on Clague and will help the Amerks.

As someone who seen him a lot before his trade to Ottawa, the only question I had about him was his size. He’s 5’9” and isn’t that big. This trade could be a decent one.

Brannstrom will report to Rochester 

[PerreaultForever]

I guess he's a depth guy since they moved Gilbert and maybe Jokiharju.
