The problem is with trading Brander is at this point, we might be too invested in him. Years on the list, shown some signs, but not really established himself.
You just know he would be one of those guys that if we let go, he would probably come good.
And realistically, what would we get for him at this point? A second round draft pick at best?
We need a plan for him. For me, that would be playing him permanently as the third tall defender and having him smash the gym in the off season; I swear it's a a worry that a lot of our kids barely seem to put on any muscle after years at the club, and Brander is one of those.
At any rate, I think trying to develop him as an onballer is a futile endeavour.
