Would you re-sign our generational player at a league minimum for 1 year?
I guess the question is: do you like Brown on the 4th line next year at the current price (700k)? (his bonus from this year already counts towards the cap).Which league's minimum are we talking about?
f*** NO.Would you re-sign our generational player at a league minimum for 1 year?
Why would you sign a guy that has scored 1 goal in the past two years and is nearing 31 years of age on a team that is also salary cap challenged? We're still paying James Neal too.For league minimum? Of course you sign him. It's not like he's a total liability out there.
Anybody saying no is answering emotionally.
League minimum are the key words. Could even be a two way although I doubt he would accept that.Why would you sign a guy that has scored 1 goal in the past two years and is nearing 31 years of age on a team that is also salary cap challenged?
Yes he has some skills but I’d put that money into someone who has a pathway.
Connor Brown is a dud in today’s NHL.
Because the organization's track record of finding effective bottom six support is poor dating back over a decade. Even without the salary cap limitations.f*** no. Any other league minimum player could outproduce him. Why not use that money on someone who can actually chip in offensively once in a while?
It absolutely is. It’s a contract (which are limited to 50), a roster spot (limited numbers) and 800k off your very tight salary cap situation (limited funds). To say that signing him blocks no one is straight bullshit and false.League minimum are the key words. Could even be a two way although I doubt he would accept that.
& let's be honest, nobody making league minimum is blocking anyone else's pathway to the NHL, salary cap challenged or otherwise.
Calm down dude.It absolutely is. It’s a contract (which are limited to 50), a roster spot (limited numbers) and 800k off your very tight salary cap situation (limited funds). To say that signing him blocks no one is straight bullshit and false.
That is why I wouldn’t sign him.
Hes already costing you more than that next year. Piss more money away on a dud? I’ll take a chance on someone with a longer potential. No f***ing thank you.
He's better than an average 4th liner, although his offensive numbers are pretty horrendous. But these numbers could also be an anomaly. He was a 30-40 point player prior to his injury.Because the organization's track record of finding effective bottom six support is poor dating back over a decade. Even without the salary cap limitations.
If Brown was willing to stay for league minimum, it's unlikely you'd find a player with the same ability to PK, nor the same ability to suppress opposing offense. Assuming he doesn't find his offensive game in the near future.
Brown is a good bottom six forward as it stands.
I’m just telling you what I feel. Since we’re telling people what to do, If you don’t like it don’t respond.Calm down dude.
For league minimum? Of course you sign him. It's not like he's a total liability out there.

I wouldn’t waste my time. Sometimes you have to move on.Because before the injury he was pacing for 50 points over the previous 3 seasons, and at league minimum the worst case scenario is you just waive him and he costs nothing against the cap.

Keeping emotion completely out of the conversation only an idiot pays Conner Brown any money next year.For league minimum? Of course you sign him. It's not like he's a total liability out there.

No I’d rather give the spot to someone with runway and potential. Not a 31 year old dud.So you’d rather we be worse, simply out of spite?
