I blame it more on the org not finding the right toughs. Last year they specifically obtained Carek or whatever the f*** his name is. He did absolutely nothing. Now its Brown. We need a tough to be inserted in games like this because Wild really play us heavy and will take liberties. But Oilers don't seem to be targeting good players for this role. Or even people willing to perform it. So that its an org problem of not finding the quantity needed.
In hindsight even the Zegras pick kind of sucks. Dude has character issues. Cocky bitch.
He's putting up some points playing in BUF's top 6. Good for him. He also is doubling his career shooting percentage.CLOUDER.
Buffalo also had zero shots on net in the third lol.CLOUDER.

I'm not defending it and Brown has had multiple times where he could get involved. I don't think he's particularly bright but again this is an org problem in that how are they not finding the right guy to perform this kind of a role. It isn't that hard to find a goon. One that can actually picks his spots better and not hurt a club.
Still skates like lightning and responsible defensively at a cheap 2M per. Plus now more scoring, with opportunity I guess.
Buffalo doing Buffalo things. That team can start like a real NHL team, then they dissipate into complete shit.
I don't get the fawning. Dude's playing in Buffalo. Absolutely zero pressure.
It's possible to do alot of drugs tho.... well depends on the drug
Yeah, but guys who bring absolutely nothing but toughness to the game are getting that call against them every time. They never get the benefit of the doubt. This game so far is a good example of why I would love to see Fredrick from Boston acquired. Functional toughness that isn't a liability. Olivier likely isn't available any more due to Columbus playing better.
Carrick was fine. Didn't hurt the team when he was on, killed penalties, heavy hitter, good figther if called upon, and isn't completely inept with the puck. Think he got the same term and money as Brown. Wouldn't mind him as 4C this year.
And he's incredibly inconsistent. He could still gain that over time, sure.
It'll be like Hartman elbow to McDs face ignored, McD gets mad and gives him a tap on the shin and we get called for slashing.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out for him. He's on pace for .5ppg with essentially no powerplay time and will be arbitration eligible. Could see him getting 4+ for long term.
