Value of: Connor Brown to contender

[GermanSpitfire]

Ottawa is yet again, terrible.
Brown may be available at the TDL but he won’t come cheap.
Brown has 2 more years left with an AAV of 3.6M - an absolute steal for what he brings to the table game in and out.

What do you got?

I like Brown. But I wouldn't overpay for him. On a contending team he's a 3rd liner.

Penguins Acquire Left Winger Alexei Ponikarovsky from the Toronto Maple Leafs in Exchange for Luca Caputi and Martin Skoula

Similar package.

 

[Brobust]

Connor Brown would play 3rd line minutes and put up 30 points on a good team.

Just like Blake Coleman.

At this deadline to a contender who gets him for 2 playoff runs, a similar package to what Tampa paid would be the price: Nolan Foote and Vancouver’s first (20oa).

Brown is comparable in every way to Coleman at the time of the trade (age, style, size) - but is a little more experienced (100 games or so), has slightly higher counting stats and is more expensive (Coleman was $1.8m AAv).

At next year’s deadline Ottawa would look for a similar package to Pageau (top 3 protected 1st, 2nd, 3rd) but would probably settle for a little less - since Pageau is a a centre and was a little younger when traded.

Coleman is faster and a better checker. I don't think Brown will bring that level of return. I'd expect a 1st and taking back some cap.

Leafs 1st + Engvall for Brown

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'd love to have him back

That wouldn’t move the needle at all for Ottawa. They could get that easily at the following deadline.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I agree with my Leaf fans, a guy who can be good in the playoffs...or at least play hard.
He would be always welcomed back.

Don't think so. Hall got less and he has a Hart trophy.

He's not close to being as impactful as Coleman.

Based on Coleman being one of the best shutdown wingers in the game and playing against top competition.

Replace “Coleman” with “Brown” and you have what Connor Brown is.

Seems like you have an agenda against Connor.

Conner seems to be lacking some of those rodent qualities we've seen from Coleman

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Brown played nearly 3 minutes per game on the PK last year, which was the third most among forwards in the NHL. He had 5 shorties last which was tops in the league. This year he’s averaging 2 and a half per game.

He was also second in the NHL in takeaways with 57. He had a +27 giveaway for takeaways ratio that also ranked him second in the NHL.

Brown is one of the best defensive wingers in the game - simple as that.

I would love him in Edmonton . Not sure the money would work as we need a goalie and upgrade on LD . If there a deal to be made let me know ?

Mangiapane says yes please....

Brown is a good defensive player. Coleman is arguably the best defensive wing in the entire NHL.

If you read my post later on in the thread I explain why Brown is one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL.

I'd love to have him back but we can't afford him lol.

When was he ever good in the playoffs? He was consistently a huge disappointment.

Same problem as Hyman, if your game is built around giving it 110% every shift in the regular season, you have nowhere to elevate your game when everyone else kicks it into high gear for the playoffs.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

How about you go back to when he was traded to Tampa Bay?
This isn’t a Blake Coleman hate thread.
