So we’d have 1M in cap space. Giroux can’t really play centre any better than Brassard, which is why he’s been a winger for years, he doesn’t get around the ice as well as he used to.

I wish you all the bad things in life.
As mentioned previously in this thread, how do you feel about Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp & Duncan Keith? He was an kid playing for and amongst giants of hockey. They were all veterans in 2010.
Pretty shitty to judge a person that harshly for something that few would have handled better in his situation.
I'd be happy to have him on the team.

Hold on. I can certainly explain.
We are here to talk about hockey, right?
Maybe, you have already seen some of my Brown posts before but I assume many lurkers or casual HF members don't read nearly as much as you do so I have no problem talking about the same subjects again to eventually catch their attention. I personally read very little on HF now. I read more at certain times in the past but barely anymore outside of prospects related threads
I don't need any "closure". Trading Brown has an EFFECT on the current season (it doesn't mean he would have been injured in Ottawa) and we could certainly use a player of that caliber right now, particularly after the TC news and 2 of our forwards potentially involved. But as someone mentioned, maybe Brown was pissed and didn't want to play for Ottawa anymore so if that's the case, I could live with it. If not, it wasn't the greatest hockey decision based on the context and the fact that hockey players also get injured.
I don't really talk much (if at all) of the other players you mentioned because it's related to past seasons but while we're at it, trading DeMelo for a 3rd is STILL a bad move as we could use him now. Letting Duclair walk probably too
Finally, you talk about "closure" on a guy that was traded 3 months ago when people still talk about many other ghosts from a much farther past.
You'd be a pretty awful NHL GM if you were not planning/expecting injuries to NHL players.
We went a bit all in by paying DeBrincat 9 M$ this season and Giroux 7 M$. Our strenght was to have one of the best Top-9 in the NHL but the problem is we started the season with a gigantic hole that was not foreseen. Luckily Motte wasn't signed and did really well so far. But 1st injury and we're in trouble.
Giroux at C would probably still much better than Brassard...
I like Brassard and hope he does the job but learning that Norris might miss the whole season put us in a tough situation here.

Giroux and Brass on the same line will help with Norris going down. Giroux doesn't play C the best of his ability anymore, but he's still good enough to take face offs and do some heavy lifting for a bit.
If Giroux + DeBrincat, established stars in the league can't carry the 2nd line with stop gaps like Brass or eventually Pinto, we have a larger concern.

Jesus dude.... Let Brown go already. Besides, he's also out long term.

Jesus dude.... are you like 12? You still don't understand the butterfly effect?
And by the way "dude", keep thinking everything is always roses in DJ Dorion's world. We have really been spoiled too much

Yeah, unfortunately that was all the EM doing who crashed that party. EK wanted to and was very sad to leave here. But that’s all water under the bridge they say.

If he has to be shut down for the year, I hope he takes all the time he needs to recover. No point in rushing back. He's young enough to bounce back and we can have him back when we're in the third round of the playoffs

This is very good news if true. Get it over with. 6 months has him back late season, 4 months has him back in March.
I'll take it.

It's the right decision, get it fixed now rather than ending up needing to do it anyways later.
Likely opens up some budget space via insurance, in an ideal world he's healthy and good to go but I'm more concerned about long term with him.
