Swedish defenseman Erik Brannstrom was the former 15th overall pick by the Vegas Golden Knights at the 2017 NHL Draft. In February 2019, the Ottawa Senators acquired Brannstrom as he was part of the Mark Stone trade.
High expectations were on Brannstrom when he was traded to Ottawa. In the end, the Senators never got Brannstrom to turn into the defenseman they were hoping for.
Last season, Brannstrom played in 28 games for the Buffalo Sabres and had some struggles. Today, Brannstrom is finally showing the potential he always had.
