You realize there are going to be people who take this dead seriously...
I'm counting on it

Down to the important questions...Ill set it up. There are two players with the same last name (Brown) - one is a full time NHLer, the other is knocking at the door and could make the team at any time.
Does Connor put an initial in front of his name on his jersey at the start of training camp? Does he take it off after training camp if Logan fails to make the team?
Or does Connor only put one on when Logan actually makes the team, and not a day before? It would be a strong arm move to refuse to put one on at training camp, and make Logan do the initial all by himself. But I might do the same in his shoes.
What if Logan makes the team, but gets sent down later on? Does Connor switch it back? Does this send a message to Logan from Conor that he thinks he belongs in the minors?
What if Logan tells him not to bother taking it off, and that he'll be right back - as hes getting demoted to belleville. And then Connor does it anyways.
Im concerned with a potential Brown power struggle coming up, and would like to know what to expect. Hopefully they can learn to co exist peacefully.

Bellows is another sniper who needs a playmaker to get him the puck, as Bondra said, he doesn't make his linemakes better but he can close like Hoffman. Brown on the other hand is an excellent playmaker like Spezza who can make his linemates better with a perfect pass for an easy goal. And just like Spezza the way he plays will piss people off but like Spezza, Brown will have to keep producing pts consistently to keep people off his back since he will never look like he is trying hard enough for some people, me included.
IMO Brown's size, reach & weight will be difficult for a lot of centres & defencemen to handle in the offensive zone & around the net. Mathews is not going to be able to push his way to the net against Brown as easily as he could against Turris, as an example. Of course, they will need to convince Brown to play at both ends & if he can do that I expect he could be a significant player for this team's future.
Thanks for sharing. Almost funny. Keep trying.
I can't argue with that since it concerns me as well about L. Brown but having someone like Formenton or Paul on his line with the speed to come back quickly & defend well could help. I don't think he can do it alone either which is why playing him with Batherson who is really fast & good defensively & either Formenton or Paul IMO would benefit not only Brown but the team as a whole. I like Formenton because he also plays with an edge which I think could help Brown & something I wish Paul would also develop more.I hope I am wrong in my assessment but I fear that L. brown lacks the first three step quickness and agility required to defend against swift skaters and forwards. Offensively he will be difficult to defend against and prevent from going to the net and moving him from the front of the net due to his size. Plus his lack of quickness will negatively affect his offence and 200 foot game.
I don't think anyone will get these guys confused out there regardlessBelieve it or not, it started out as a serious post, and I quickly realized the satire in it and rolled with it...
But seriously, I do wonder if they both show up to camp with the initials, and if Connor Brown would switch back if Logan failed to make the team. I never recall seeing this before.

One is a 6'0 180lb winger, the other is a 6'6 230lb centre. They could both just have "Brown" on their jersey and the majority of hockey fans should be able to tell them apart.
I think by the end of the year, our 3 best forwards will be Brady, Brown and Batherson. Hell, that might already be the case.If Brown pans out, hoo boy. It changes everything

No rispek for him or his familyEh, we should just take a page for Paul McLean and call them by their number... a'la #61 to refer to Diaz.
Is this sarcasm?Agreed. If he becomes a legit top line C, the rebuild is essentially over and we can think about becoming a consistent playoff team.
