Fabbro or Brannstrom
Hi everyones!!
I have a hard time choosing between Fabbro or Brannstrom for my last D-man one the opening night. Obviously, I would prefer Montour or even Orlov or Brodie, but I can't because of the salary cap I am so tight.
Other option is to put a guy like Voracek on my bench and replacing him by Buchnevich to be able to put Montour for my last D.
What do you think??
Will REP where I can!

Re: Fabbro or Brannstrom
Brannstrom is the better of the 2 but I wouldn't count on Brannstrom playing most of the year for the Sens next season. Barring injury to give him meaningful minutes he should probably stay in Belleville and develop as their #1D. Fabbro will have a good opportunity to perform this year but you should probably just sit tight and see if Buffalo moves Risto before you make any decisions like benching Voracek for Montour.
Re: Fabbro or Brannstrom
I honestly prefer neither for this year. If someone made me choose I pick Fabbro, just because he's much more likely to get minutes right away. I think Brannstrom is the better own though.
Couldn't you drop Kovalchuk? I can't see anyone wanting to take on that salary with the way the Kings and Kovy are trending.

Re: Fabbro or Brannstrom
Brannstrom for me, but I agree that perhaps you can find a way to save money and then keep someone like Orlov, Brodie, or Montour (in that order) instead.
Long-term, I'm very high on Brannstrom but realize he may not play much, if at all, this coming season in the NHL.

Re: Fabbro or Brannstrom
Just to be clear, I will keep both in my team, I just want to know who I put in my lineup this year. Thanks!Originally Posted by Eskimo Brother

Re: Fabbro or Brannstrom
The way we calculate salary for the player is not the real one (it depend of the points the player did the last 3 years). So Kovalchuk is one of my more valuable player this year even if he only manage to score 40 points...but thanks for the advice!

Re: Fabbro or Brannstrom
I think Fabbro is more likely to play games than Branstrom this year so I'd put Fabbro in your active line up. Next year, likely a different story....
