Good deal for everyone

 

[Stuzchuk]

great deal... ! glad to see that they've avoided arbitration and that he's signed for 3 years

Tierney is next and hope that they can extend Tkachuk before the season starts

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Dorian having a great off season. They will have more success than the other Ontario team soon enough.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

He was asking for $4.8 mil iirc?
If so, that's a pretty fair deal for both sides.

Yup, arb asks are always high though. Consensus on the Sens board was that most were willing to go as high as 4x4, so getting one less year at 400k below is a real nice deal for us.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Awesome. Like the term, like the $$.

 

[Henkka]

Evolving-hockey estimated 3.77M for 3-year deal.

Quite near of that.

 

[SensFactor]

Good that we locked him up for 3 years. He was awesome last year. I wonder what this means for Tierney now? He's one of the last RFAs left we need to sign.

 

[Qward]

i like it

Connor Brown is a good one. Sens fans are happy, as they should be. Guy is a mix of a pound of skill, with a ton of effort.

As a Leafs fan, I still like Connor Brown, and I'm glad he found a spot with a new team. He deserves this. He'll be worth every penny of that contract, I'm sure.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Good deal; good player.

 

[Sensinitis]

Good deal and great term for a heart and soul player who can play all situations and chip in pretty well offensively.

 

[Fogelhund]

Congrats to Brown, and the Senators... as a Leaf fan, one of those guys you were sad to leave your franchise, but still wish him well in the future. One of the hardest working guys out there, that's managed to perform above expectations due to that work ethic, well deserved.

Connor Brown plays like a rugby player. Doesn’t necessarily do it creatively, but he is great at putting his head down and willing the biscuit to the offensive zone.

 

[hotpaws]

good for Connor , had a good year and earned a decent contract

 

[Hostile Offer]

In the least surprising news of the day, the Sens sign a RFA on a backloaded deal.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Good for him. He also signed a deal with Sherwood Hockey for stick endorsements recently as they try and make a comeback in the league. So he's doing very well financially for a depth guy.

Great way to explain it.

He always felt, to me, like someone finally put a coach's brain in a below average player. Suddenly he's making all the right decisions, being in the right place, never taking a shift off. He's such a low maintenance player.

He's no star, but he can easily play on a line with one, and the star will be grateful.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Great contract for both sides. Even better for them to avoid the potential ugliness of arbitration too.

Dorion having himself a good offseason.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No they won't

Think Connor Brown is the first Maple Leafs prospect from their "perfect" rebuild to win the Cup.

Senators sign a good contract for a former Maple Leaf.

Sens fans: Great deal. Good player.

Leafs fans: Great deal. Good player.

Neutral fans: Leafs suck.

a little like Patric Hörnqvist did for years in PIT/NAS

 

[jetsforever]

Good deal

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Are one of Brown or Tierney top candidates to be exposed and taken by Seattle?
