Erik Brannstrom’s days with the Ottawa Senators are long over.
Sources told Postmedia Sunday that Brannstrom won’t receive a qualifying offer to retain is rights for free agency.
Traded to Ottawa as part of the Mark Stone deal this will end Brannstrom’s stay with the Senators. He was due a $2 million qualifying offer at 5 p.m. to retain his rights.
The Senators have only $11.5 million in cap space heading into the opening of free agency on Canada Day at noon and letting Brannstrom walk would buy more space. He was acquired by former GM Pierre Dorion and this management has no ties to him.
More to come.
