I thought he was done playing

 

[BonMorrison]

Oh damn he's alive. Thought he was cooked after he missed all of last season.

Probably took the PTO to put the body to the test and make it seem real that he's done ?

A little surprising he signed one, as I also thought he would retire.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

But he scored a bunch of pre-season goals once.

 

[Evergreen]

If he weren’t huge he’d had run out of chances by now. He gets the big man benefit of the doubt.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Was just discussing him Tuesday on Lightning board. Was signed last summer but never played and wasn't qualified.

Is he back on the ice now?

No he didn't.

 

[NyQuil]

No he didn't.

With St. Louis.

 

[PlayersLtd]

With St. Louis.

ahhh, k.

I was thinking the only thing of note he did in preseason with Ottawa was drop the mitts with Sieloff the year after the Mcarthur hit but even that might have been Nick Paul... and even that I might be remembering wrong

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

One of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies.

While the chances of it happening are slim, if he can stay healthy and play on a team where there is the right sheltered offensive role, I think he could produce at an NHL level.

Both health and drive have always been the knock on Logan Brown. Going back to his draft year, he was seen as a big boom/bust type player. Where if the Senators got what he was during his draft year, they get a top 3 talent at 11th overall, but if he is more like he was prior to heating up, they got a bust.

Right now, he's staring down at last-chance city, as far as making real NHL money and not having to work at a Swedish grocery store.

There is a reason he keeps getting shots from different teams. His size and skill is a very rare combination of assets, and this isn't a situation where he has never shown anything in his career. Right out of the gate, he produced at a high pace in the AHL as a 20 and 21 year old.

I don't know if I've ever seen a player get over having "drive" issues. His heart just isn't in it.

Swedish grocery store?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Swedish grocery store?

lol, Mikael Wikstrand reference.

 

[banks]

I really believed in this guy when he was with Ottawa.

It's probably a good reminder that you can't really scout someone on the internet. Highlight reels, stats, and scouting reports sure don't show you everything. Stuff like health and heart are different.

Hope he makes it work, but I had almost forgotten he existed. I'd say his chances are slim.

 

[Qward]

7 years in NHL, hasnt played 100 games.

Dude is made of paper

 

[Kingfan1967]

Body needed for split squad games?

 

[Maple Leaf]

Didnt sens fans say he was the best or something

 

[crowi]

This guy isn't even pillow soft, he is something else. He and Colin White were such disasters.

Pretty sure it was Bobby Ryan that did that.

Because Brown, despite being huge, would certainly never drop the gloves.

It was in a following year. Vague recollection. Could be wrong.
