Confirmed with Link: Leafs re-sign Connor Brown (3 years; $2.1 AAV)

What do the Blue dot, White dot and flag symbolize?

One would assume blue and white for the leafs and the flag for his heritage. Seems kind of obvious I thought.

My thoughts, too...

Option A
Hyman -- Matthews -- Nylander = better offensively

Option B
Hyman -- Matthews -- Brown = better defensively.

Babcock loves Brownie and the signing because he is the Swiss army knife in the coaches toolbox allowing him to build his lines dependent on if he is at home or on the road, has last change or not, or leading and protecting a lead or trailing and trying to generate more offense.

Brown also plays PP, PK and ES and can be used up and down the line-up in any role the coach asks of him which makes him a coaches dream.

Option C
Marleau -- Matthews --Brown = better offensively AND defensively.

I think Brown's 2-way game will keep him with Kadri moving forward in a match up role.

JVR-Matthews-Nylander
Komarov-Kadri-Brown
Marleau-Bozak-Marner
Martin-Moore-Hyman
Leivo, Rychel

DEEP at forward with Soshnikov and Kapanen capable of playing in the NHL next year too.

My take as well, with the potential of Nylander and Marner being switched.
