Player Discussion Logan Brown

[Ice-Tray]

Wow, kid can play. I'm super excited as well. Said it before and I'll say it again, the White, Brown, Tkachuk connection is going to be awesome. We could all end up watching all future team USA games

 

[JungleBeat]

This is a guy who would benefit from being in the AHL.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

He really likes to wait an extra second or two before getting that shot off. Not sure if he's doing that on purpose to disrupt the timing for the goalies, or if he needs that second. Seems to be the same method on most of those goals.

It really seems like timing to me. Goalies have to respect his pass and his shot, and what an absolutely sneaky shot he has lol.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Has there been any comment on brown cracking the lineup next season? I'll be pretty disappointed if he doesn't given our center depth. This guy is our wild card next season.

I'd be very surprised if he made and stayed in the NHL next season.

He still has to get a lot stronger from what I understand. I expect him to play a full season in the AHL with call ups to Ottawa next year.

White is well ahead of him and I think he might be the break out player that makes our forward group a bit more respectable.

#1 center potential but needs time.

Should spend at least one year in the AHL.

 

[coladin]

Dear god no, don't mention ownership in here. He will here you and rush to derail this thread, the only thread left that's even on ice hockey related.

Hi guys, are talking ownership....great, glad to be here!

He looked pretty good, and raw, last preseason. I can barely wait to see how he looks this camp. To me, he can be a franchise block, much like Spezza was.

 

[InTkachukWeTrust]

Excited about the fact someone like Stone, who has the hardworking I want to win mind set, will be mentoring Brown. Will definitely help him develop!!!

His shot is lethal and accurate. One of my favourite qualities in him as a player. Can’t wait for him to get his 9 games so he can show us even more quality hockey

Just fyi, the 9 games thing doesn't apply to Brown. He's 20 and now gonna be in the AHL. That only really matters for teens who's contracts can slide.

I just saw Stone's insta with Brown. It's awesome that he's rooming with Mark.

Thanks for informing me! I think him going down to the A and playing with Tkachuk is the best for both of them. Going to be an awesome pair in the future!!

One of the best guys he can room with.

Hoping Stones determination off and on the ice rubs off on Brown.

I think those qualities are contagious. I could imagine a young professional would be ecstatic to have a guy like Stone as a mentor

Only if he's into it.

I predict Brown will become the fans' scapegoat in about 2 seasons. He's got all the same weaknesses Spezza had, with less offensive ability. He'll be called slow, lazy and soft pretty quickly. Hopefully his production balances that out, but as we saw with Spezza, it wasn't enough.

Those people are stupid. Don't hold stupid people's stupid opinions in high regard. Problem solved.

Yup. I feel like Browns skating is already pretty good. But I really think with some hard work it can become excellent.

A Logan Brown with above average to excellent NHL speed, with his reach, vision, agility, hands and shot would be disgusting.

Are they? I believe Spezza had to be moved. The team was trying to identify as a group that could play on both sides of the puck. When their best player and captain continued to play a one-dimensional game, they rightly realized he could not be the face of the franchise. Unfortunately they got murdered in the deal but that's another story.

My point is that Brown has the mould of the exact kind of player fans turn on: offensive, lacking intensity and a bit soft. He's done nothing in his junior career to dispel this notion. If he's given a leadership role, or is heavily relied upon as the go-to forward, he will eventually get chased out of town.

Brady Tkachuks are fan favourites. Logan Browns are not.

 

[Sensinitis]

Can see him hitting 40 pts if he’s with the big club 70+ games.

 

[DJB]

Time in the AHL please. No need to rush our guys we've seen what it's done to Cowen, Lazar, Rundblad , Ceci and Zibanejad and Lehner. Gosh this team likes to rush guys.

Put him in the AHL and keep him there for a full year

 

[Icelevel]

Too tall for the nhl. Send him to Belleville where he can work on getting shorter. Hopefully next year he can come in at 6’3”

Ottawa wanted to keep Spezza.

Spezza gave them a heads up that he'd welcome a trade during his exit meeting as he wasn't planning on extending in Ottawa.

 

[topshelf15]

I would like Brown to flex some muscle a little more,not because I want him not to be a skilled player...But with that size you just know there will be some players looking to try and abuse him...He needs to have a bit of nasty to protect himself and make room

 

[Burrowsaurus]

He's so slow...but man a lot of those goals are beating goalies sooooo clean.

He didn’t look very slow when he was up with us last year. He seems to understand that he needs to pick up the pace in the NHL.

In awe at the size of this lad.
