Dreger: Connor Brown to Edmonton?

[Darren McCord]

Brown is a great player, really don't see anyway Ottawa comes on top with this deal considering the players the Oilers have to offer. Not sure if Brown needed to be traded so fast, was hoping we could at least package him for a 4D.

Oilers fans will be extremely happy with him!

Hes being package for Drai so Ottawa can have all the germans

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Thats because Brown is basically getting pushed out by Giroux, and Sens fan know there's no way we can re-sign Brown after this season.

Thats what Im thinking too. He realized he isn't going to touch the top 6 anymore, no chance at all for powerplay time. A more limited role.

He wants more room to breath, and I don't blame him. I wish the Sens could keep him, hes a fantastic middle 6 winger, but I'd much rather have Giroux and Debrincat than Brown.

Hopefully its a good return for futures that the Sens can use to get a defenseman,

Oilers are going to love Brown, he's the perfect player for them.

Is it though? Getting swept is embarrassing. Probably the most embarrassing thing in sports.

Less embarrassing than not winning a playoff series in 18 years.

Fun fact: Matt Murray got swept in the first round in his last two playoff outings.
Guess he fits pretty well in Toronto then.

Oh wait.. this is a Brown to Edmonton thread. I guess we should talk about those two now, shouldn't we?

Kane - McDavid - Brown
Hyman - Drai - Yamamoto
Holloway - RNH - Marchment

Make it so Holland

Brown and McDavid tour reunion

 

[JarvisFunk]

Beating two awful teams, then getting SWEPT by the first sign of competition, isn’t winning

We can agree on one thing. Calgary is AWFUL

You're living rent free in your own head at this point

One day the leafs will make it past the first round.

First Hyman, now Brown and Campbell? Is the Oiler's goal to take all the nice guys off the Leafs?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I wouldnt even be mad if Dorion took a bit less value to send Brownie to a good spot. He deserves it, would add some goodwill within the room, and I think we can make a trade that is more about fit than optimizing value.

If so, don't worry - your stars are safe!

There's a bit of a weird vibe in this thread. There is an overwhelming sentiment from Ottawa fans that the Oilers are getting an absolute gem, but not a lot of grief that they are (supposedly) losing such a great player.

Wants to be paid like a 2nd liner and there isn't enough room for him.

I'd certainly keep him at the right price. Ideally he'd be in your bottom six and could spot time in the top six as required.

Are you guys raising a Handshake Respect banner this year? Just curious, I wouldn’t mind watching the ceremony. Should be really emotional.

I'm not sure a Leaf fan is the best source for the definition of "winning" in the playoffs....but keep being cocky its quite funny.

 

[LivingRentFree]

Oh yes. It’s me being cocky.

You’re right, it’s not cocky, it’s coping.

I’d take one of Brown/Marchment. If they get both the D corp will be all ELCs

Wasn't Barrie a nice guy too?

 

[Akrapovince]

When you don’t want McDavid to leave for the Leafs so you bring former Leafs to him.

 

[SnipeShowJB11]

Lets see if they bring in his best friend Dylan Strome lol

 

[Xspyrit]

Hopefully for picks. We need the cap more than anything right now.

Yeah there is absolutely no spot for anybody. We just need a Top-4 RHD so the assets could help in achieving that

Which really sucks as Ottawa seems to be heading in the right direction a lot faster than expected.

They just signed Claude Giroux so that's where Brown money went. Giroux is basically Brown's elite version.

I hope we didn't give up too much
But this is an awesome pickup for the Oilers

McDaddy is gonna be happy

Hyman and Brown on the same line would drive the opposition crazy. Need that duo against other teams top lines. I'd have :

Hyman - RNH - Brown

If they dont make a 3-part documentary about it, they're missing a real opportunity.

 

[playasRus]

Can't Sens keep more than one ginge and just sign a top 4 D UFA

 

[cyberpunk]

Does this mean the west leafs can compete?
