Low risk signing. He has shown some progress on with the Blues with 3+3 in 17 games playing mostly 4th line minutes. He would have to grow a lot more to meet his draft day expectations and I don't think it is likely he will reach it but he could still carve out a solid career in the bottom six.

That headline makes it sound different than Logan Brown loves playing for his home team.

Low risk contract there. Brown is frusterating because he has all the tools, he's big and strong but just lacks . . . that elusive "it". Maybe he transitions his game into being a solid bottom 6er. Worth the low risk contract I think from the blues!

I think the social commentary is pretty funny.

One way - good for him - still hope he puts it together, he’s got the skill for sure…

Just 13 more games and Ottawa keeps thier pick .

I believe in this kid. Still a chance he becomes an impact top 6 forward. If not, he'll probably still settle in as a bottom six guy. No risk here.

I could see them purposely hold him off the team to redeem that pick.

Nothing more than a 3rd liner, but that’s ok. Still has time to improve

They should reward him by not scratching him anymore.

That "it" is called shift to shift consistency and effort. He feels like someone who plays hockey because he's good at it and it was expected of him, not that he wants to be great.

I originally saw "Dustin Brown" and almost had a heart attack

Will be tough for him to crack the lineup unless we get hit with another round of injuries. He had a quick start, but then his play has kind of leveled off since then. And he's only played 2 games since Jan 9th, so we will see if he gets another extended look or not.

I can't.

Berube does not care about getting an additional 4th - which, even if it lands a Batherson-type player, will almost certainly never play for Berube. He cares about dressing the best lineup. If Doug Armstrong mettles to that extent, well, he's probably a shitty boss.

I don't see Brown replacing any of the Blues top 9 this season. And he's not exactly the type of player Berube uses on his 4th line either. He'll probably get games, but unless there is an injury I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't hit 30 games.

No disagreement there - there are definitely reasons why Brown likely won't play 30 games this season. I just don't buy that securing the 4th rounder is gonna be one of them.

Oh, definitely. Berube is gonna play the best lineup he can that will help us win. That 4th rounder probably doesn't even cross his mind.

Sorry I misread your first post. Lol

No problem at all lol. And yeah we are in 100% agreement on this. I would be surprised if it even crosses Armstrongs mind, let alone Berube's

I believe Brown may be the type of player, who has a big body, takes a while to put it all together. He’s shown he is an NHL’er, and would be a good 3rd/4th line player for a while if he plays like has has for the Blues. Can he turn it up a notch and become a middle six forward? He has the tools, I really think it’s a mental thing and knowing how to utilize his monster frame. For this AAV, we can give him the time needed. If he doesn’t, then that sucks, but it such a small investment that it won’t hurt the team going forward.
