Wouldn’t be shocked if Ottawa grabbed him back, or Detroit.

Hope not. As of now we have none in Springfield that can be seen as a potential top 9 player. Brown and maybe Alexandrov are the closest...

I would be a little surprised by Ottawa. They traded him because he wanted out. I doubt he'd be too happy if they reclaimed him. "Thanks, you traded me to one of the deepest teams in the league who had no spot for me so you could reclaim me later.
I think it has as much to do with roster composition as risk of waivers. Perunovich is a lefty but he is more comfortable on the right side. We have Faulk, Parayko and Bortuzzo on the right. Bortuzzo is replaceable 5v5 but is important to the PK. If we have Perunovich over Bortz, then one of Krug, Perunovich or Walman/Mikkola would have to PK. None of them are there yet.
Also having Krug and Perunovich on the roster gives us 2 tiny D who need to be sheltered. It makes us better offensively, but worse defensively. Berube/Armstrong may not have thought they could shelter both adequately. Say what you want about Walman and Mikkola, and their gaffes. Either is much better defensively than Perunovich at this point. That may change as Perunovich seasons. Half a year getting steady coaching in the AHL, and Perunovich may be a full time before the playoffs.

Seeing the Sharks picked up Gadjovich, and there were reportedly more teams that put in a claim om him, I'd be very surprised if some of those teams don't put in a claim for Brown: The Canucks are reportedly looking for a center on waivers while Arizona could make a decent fit aswell.
In my limited viewing he struggled on the defensive side a bit. If he’s on the Blues, he’s less useful if it’s as a 3rd pairing guy. I think he just needs lots of minuted against men (in the AHL) to maximize his preparation. But he’ll be called up this year, amd when he is it will probably be for a top 4 role.
Who knows. Honestly, NHL waivers are the most random thing in the world. I’ve seen guys get put on there that I thought surely would be claimed, and they weren’t. And then I’ve seen teams claim dudes I’ve never heard of. It’s wild.

The risk with Brown will be that if multiple teams put in a claim for him, then the winning team (with the worst record last year compared to the other claimers) has to keep him on their roster or offer Brown to the next team that claimed him at the same time. Works for trades too. Can't trade him without offering him to all the other claimers who had better records than your team did last season.
That is true if I'm understanding the Waiver rules properly for the NHL. Therefore, if you put a claim on him, you probably should have every intention of keeping him on your roster else you end up passing this poor kid around like a cigarette behind gym class back in the day.

Ottawa wouldn't do it, unless they wanted to further bury his career like they did Chouinard back in the day, I'd actually love to see it though out of spite and to get a rise out of his dad.

Can You Trade a Player Claimed off Waivers?
Players who are claimed off waivers must be offered to the other teams that placed an original claim before that player can be traded.
For example, if a player is placed on waivers and three teams place a claim on him. The team lowest in the standards gets first dibs. If they then decide to trade the player, he would first have to be passed on by the other two teams. If a team places a claim, he’d be theirs. If not, he can be traded.

Never heard of that. Is that legit site? Can’t find this rule interpretation anywhere else.

No real surprise there. Brown’s best shot is to go to Springfield and dominate for a whole season and force the Blues to call him up.
I'd suggest you take another look at Walman's game ! he really opened my eyes at the end of last season. The progress of his development was very much up and down before last year, but he is here to stay.Let him play and turn him loose !
Mikkola, and to greater extent Jake Walman, are hugely improved since last year's training camp. I think Walman , with his speed, his shot and his budding aggressive play , is , at minimum, a top 4 defenseman in the very near future

Lol he's an adequate defenseman, but he's either going to need to score 40+ points or learn to defend like Parayko to ever be a top 4 d-man in the NHL
