Annual review of the Senators' OHL prospects. Only one for you guys this year, Logan Brown. I expect him to have a very good season, building off of the way he finished last year.
Weird conversation about Gagne in the previous thread. When have we ever moved a 2nd rounder out of junior hockey before they aged-out? ... Never? I don't understand why there was controversy.
Oh wait, I feel like Fisher did and technically Lehner probably did too. But that's probably it.
Brown centering Roslovic and Foley (both WPG 2015 choices).
Chabot with Juulsen.
Brown wasn't really used in the third
Lethargic out there.
Yes I know quote where that guy said big players can look lethargic because of their big strides.
Pretty sure he scored on a tap in in the 3rd and did not seem to be out there much.... I was not very impressed with his play. Seemed to struggle down low on puck battles in tight spaces.
Didn't get to see team Canada but saw Chychrun getting beat on the first Fin goal. The OT goal looked like another pretty serious breakdown
I didn't get to watch canada. Watch most of the U.S. Game. Keller is magic. Hogged the puck a bit today though. Brown just seems so bleh. I'm not sure if he's a lock for this team or not. If he is I suppose it explains some of the slowness. But yeah in tight spaces he looks slow and unwilling to battle. Seems like he just reacts so slowly to everything out there. I don't think e will be a "bust" but this is more of the same from the couple time i watched him last year. I hope he has about another 10 gears.
To clarify. Don't think he will be a bust. Just tough time seeing this guy become that powerhouse point producing first line center that some here do.
An 18 year old had a meh scrimmage game in the middle of the summer.
Meh game, but got the game winner and won an important offensive zone faceoff that became a goal 8 sec later.
I'm okay with that in the end. He still had a positive impact on the game.
We have to remember, Brown is a long-term guy. He's not making it to the NHL for at least 3-4 years. Expecting him to look dominant right now is asking a lot.
I'm more interested to hear how Chabot played today. He's the one that should be one of the dominant ones (please, please, please!) this year for Canada.
I don't fully agree with this in that I think Brown will be in the NHL sooner than yourself. He plays out junior then probably half a season in the AHL and is first call up.
But we're seeing a pretty big overreaction for one exibition game in early August. If I were Brown I'd be more focused on the gym right now than the ice. Offseason should be his chance to bulk over the next few years. I agree that it's all about the long term with him and adding muscle and strength is what will make him a player for Ottawa. He already has the skills. I'm not interested in how he's playing in exhibition summer games.
