Dreger: Connor Brown to Edmonton?

[PostBradMalone]

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

Really embarrassing, second perhaps only to blowing a 3-1 lead in the final minutes of a Game 7.

 

[NyQuil]

That would be an embarrassingly bad return.

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

If we keep him, how do we acquire the defenceman?

 

[SENStastic]

Hoping for 2023 1st. It's going to be bottom 5 most likely. Probably flip it right away+ Brannstrom for RD.

 

[Hale The Villain]

If the issue is salary space, keep Brown and his 4M salary, deal Hamonic's 3.25M deal and have Brannstrom, JBD and Thomson compete for his 6th D role.

If the issue is assets, we still have our 1sts and 2nds next year, as well as numerous quality prospects. We don't need to deal Brown for assets to have enough to trade for a good D, especially if all he is returning is a measly 2nd.

Well, to be clear, my point was that a 2nd was the highest we'd get, hopefully with other pieces (e.g. other draft picks).

Essentially that I don't see Oilers dealing a 1st rounder for a 2nd/3rd line tweener.

Ok fair, but if no team is putting a 1st on the table we should at least be getting two 2nds + a mid round pick or prospect.

Is it better to win multiple series instead of 0???

yes... is this a real question?

Especially against your biggest rival sending them directly into a rebuild

They lost to the champs, no shame in that. Colorado is a drastically better team than Edmonton

Okay well while you're hoping for the 2023 1st, I'll hope that Future Considerations somehow made it onto the Oilers overnight and we move him for Brown straight across.

Let's see who's dream is the bigger one in the room

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

Perron is more of the same. You need more two way guys.

Yours. Obviously.

Late 1st is a reasonable ask for someone like Brown. He's a 40-50pt player at bare minimum that can play in every situation, and a warrior when you need him most, on a very cheap contract, even if its just one year. Probably would fetch that at TDL to a real contender. I aint dreamin.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

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

It is unlikely but it depends how badly Edmonton wants him and how Dorion plays it.

Edmonton is in win-now mode and Brown would be a great fit. Maybe they give up a first if he comes with an extension.

Blew a 4-1 lead lol

 

[cannucky]

Blew a 4-1 lead lol

Different choke I believe , same Leafs different year ?

 

[BondraTime]

Brown has been overrated with regards to what he’d return for a while imo.

A 2nd with no money comes my back and I’m a hoot Sens fan.

I assumed that poster was referring too 2013 due to this:

"Second perhaps only to blowing a 3-1 lead in the final minutes of a Game 7".

Didn't they do that against the Caps tho ? So many game 7 chokes it's hard to keep track of them all eh !

Browns value exceeds JPG in my book. Even if that was an overpayment. A 1st is reasonable

 

[BayStBullies]

He played for the Leafs, so that checks every box.

 

[Mingus Dew]

This one gonna happen or what?

 

[Macheteops]

Get this done

 

[DaveMatthew]

I'd imagine Ottawa is working on flipping any assets they receive from Edmonton to another team for a defenseman (alongside any of their own picks/prospects), and they won't pull the trigger on the trade until they have that arrangement in place.

Makar was the difference. dude is a beast and propelled the team to take that next and final step. Avs don’t have him, they are probably still in The same situation as past years. jmo.

 

[XXIV97]

yup, there is a delay since they to find a third team.

The Oilers Now Host said he could see a deal between SJ-EDM-OTT

Would be kinda funny if the assets get flipped a couple times with each team adding something. From EDM for Brown, to FLA for Weegar, to ARZ for Chychrun
