No, Marleau is worse.
In his rookie season, he apparently had good passing stats across all categories. I remember him having very all-round numbers and high-end overall passing and danger passing totals. Those seem to have cratered since then.he might be.
thing is, I think I blame babcock for brainwashing him into stopping even trying to create any offense out there, and just gudproing it up instead.
brown consistently tried to create with the puck when he was a rookie. we never see that anymore.
13? no
12? maybe but id still say no
10? yes easily our top 10 forwards (1st line, 2nd line, 3rd line then brown) easily the worst and our 4th line works without a $2.1M player so that all adds up to brown being moved.
$2.1M is too much for what he brings and our cap crunch. He will be moved maybe for a pick at the draft (a 2nd? or dare I say a late 1st?) or in a package for an upgrade somewhere else.
Better? Does he win face-offs or play on 4th line all the time? The Goat is actually outperforming many forwards based on his icetime. Plus, Brown has played about double the icetime of Freddy along with 10 extra games. Yet he does not have double the points.. The goat is also a year younger and makes not even half of what Brown makes and has thrown almost 3x as many hits. I would be comfortable in trading Kadri to improve defense and moving the goat to the 3rd line next season if was up to me. Be more defensive based 3rd line with less points but shutdown line is needed after 2 lines of offense.He’s better than the Goat.
He’s fine as a player, the problem is players like him are fantastic value at league minimum (or close to it), but that value starts to plummet the more money they earn.
2 million is just too much money when you can get a bargain bin free agent signing or up and coming youngster on an ELC to do the same thing
Good reliable player that works hard and well trusted by Babcock at both ends of the ice.
He kills penalties and gives his line further defensive awareness.
He is better than all the 4th line players at present, however he ends up as one of them when everyone is healthy.
Better ask babcock first though or he may whine about not having the right players
Gauthier has better value and if he dropped the gloves he would be in top 10. Marleau meh his production dropped this season.
Based on what? Are you just posting this to elicit an emotional response (trolling)?
Value adds to the on ice impact. If had 6+ million extra that's possible star player or possibly maybe signing both Johnsson and Kapanen together next season is big value. Having more space to improve areas of concern is huge. Leadership adds sure but we have Tavares now..Value, perhaps. But in terms of on-ice impact, Gauthier's a clear last place.

Few factors have to consider but hard to say who is the worst. That will come down to opinion and preference.The question was "is connor brown the worst forward in our top 13?"
It's a question about who's the worst hockey player. We're not talking about cap impact, etc.
On the basis that Brown is stronger and faster than Marleau and kills penalties.
Marleau only beats him at having a scoring touch, but unless someone else does all the work for Marleau, he's basically invisible (if not a significant drag on his linemates).
Marleau skates by peoples criticism due to his past accomplishments and reputations - and not his actual on-ice impact.
So yes, the 25 year old Brown is better than the corpse of Marleau.
He’s better than Moore and Goat
This thread is rife with people severely underrating Trevor Moore. It reminds me of last season when people weren't sure if AJ was better than Komorov.
Moore is much better than Ennis/Gauthier/Brown/Marleau. You'll see.
Babcock is going to Babcock but if Brown is down to the 4th that is a kinda of progressAnd sitting out next game apparently ffs
