Dreger: Connor Brown to Edmonton?

[Do Make Say Think]

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

I mean DBC makes 9 million dollars and we didn't send any money to Chicago. Keeping Brown would be ideal but we are still a small marke lt team.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Other than Pulju, I could see the the trade being for picks that the Sens will use to trade for a top-4 dman afterwards.

 

[5 14 6 1]

 

[Pucklington]

Edmonton making some good moves. Definitely the favorite for the Pacific, amd could challenge for conference depending on what happens on backend.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Hoepfully we get a 1st for Brown. Probably not but a 2nd would be a bit underwhelming.

Sounds like we're looking for assets to trade for a top 4 D. 1st would be lofty for Brown but I feel like he'd fetch one at the deadline.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Brown could easily fetch a late 1st at the deadline.

A 1st from the Oilers top 10 protected is fair value.

 

[KevinRedkey]

I was curious if it involved Yamamoto as he could be a piece we use in a deal to get a Dman. Either him of Formenton, who Yam could replace.

If not him then I hope it's prospects or picks only.

 

[McSuper]

I love Connor Brown. I have been wishing the Oilers would get him for like 5 years now.

So have I. Sens fans are right he is very underrated.

 

[zar]

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

They do… the players do… when they get traded to other teams.

 

[Bevans]

Brown could easily fetch a late 1st at the deadline.

A 1st from the Oilers top 10 protected is fair value.

If he would fetch that at the deadline then presumably Edmonton has to pay more to get him for the full season.

 

[Korpse]

If he would fetch that at the deadline then presumably Edmonton has to pay more to get him for the full season.

Maybe. Deadline prices are always a little inflated, plus teams are more willing to move 1sts because they have a better idea of where they will fall in the standings. On top of that the 2023 draft is shaping up to be a solid one, not expecting a 1st in return. Holland has been hesitant to move 1st round picks as well.

 

[HSF]

i think ottawa wants picks to use to get a top 4 defensemen

 

[SpezDispenser]

Give me your picks please!

 

[branch]

Brown is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Oilers

 

[Mr Kot]

so is it happening or not? now a third team might be involved?

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Connor Brown playing with McDavid could have a monster season. 70-80 points isn't hard to believe.

 

[NyQuil]

Brown could easily fetch a late 1st at the deadline.

A 1st from the Oilers top 10 protected is fair value.

At this point in time, the Senators don't have that kind of leverage.

It's not as if they're going to keep him.

A 2nd is probably the highest pick returned at this point - hopefully with something else.

 

[BatVader]

Puljujarvi to WPG for pick(s) EDM can flip to OTT

 

[Sting]

Connor Brown playing with McDavid could have a monster season. 70-80 points isn't hard to believe.

I don't think Connor has the hands to put up more than 50, McDavid or not.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Hoepfully we get a 1st for Brown. Probably not but a 2nd would be a bit underwhelming.

I do not see Brown worth a 1st with one year left

 

[Hale The Villain]

It's not as if they're going to keep him.

A 2nd is probably the highest pick returned at this point - hopefully with something else.

That would be an embarrassingly bad return.

If that's as much as they can get they should just keep him.

 

[Sweetpotato]

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

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

Username checks out.

 

[FunkyChicken]

If the Oilers are clearing out salary, I'd rather they save their picks for a D and pay a little more for Perron.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

That would be an embarrassingly bad return.

If that's as much as they can get they should just keep him.

Yeah if all they're getting is a second, f*** it. Keep him and let him walk
