Brannstrom creating optimism for Senators future. MORE:
Brannstrom finished his NHL debut with over 17 minutes of ice time and was on for one of his team's two goals in a surprising 2-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
The five-foot-10, 173-pound Brannstrom had 28 points in 41 games with the Knights' AHL affiliate in Chicago this season — his first playing in North America — before joining Belleville, where he has four assists in eight games. "He's going to be dynamic — his vision, his lateral movement, his skating ability," Mann said."Like any 19-year-old, there's plenty of things he needs to work on. He's still getting acclimated.
"You don't need the big clapper anymore," Mann said."You've just got to have that vision to put pucks through. There's so much fronting , there's so much blocking.
