Confirmed Trade: [WSH/OTT] Connor Brown for 2024 2nd round pick

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Lehkonen who was a rental gets you a 2nd and a prospect. Brown should've been worth the same.

Lehkonen was still rfa.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Don't get how Edmonton couldn't beat this offer. Oh well.

TSN mentioned that Edmonton had to move out contracts to facilitate the move and were unable to do so.

 

[BKarchitect]

What a steal for the Caps.

Wow, gotta think Edmonton would have done that.. Maybe the ask was higher for us.

 

[OmniSens]

Underwhelming to only get a 2nd round pick. Feels like a deal just to get him out. Thought he'd get a 1st.

The good is we have an additional 2nd in 2024 for when we're competing deeper in the playoffs (assuming we make it) and get a decent acquisition at a deadline.

Doesn't make much sense as Edmonton has cap space.

 

[PostBradMalone]

LMAO and Sens fans wanted Edmonton’s 1st+.

 

[ijuka]

Too cheap, Connor Brown is worth more.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Not sure, that's just what McKenzie stated on TSN

 

[Bevans]

Yep we were wrong. It happens. Hopefully space and pick used for bigger and better things.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

The only explanation (and it's unlikely) I can think of is that there's a trade for a d-man waiting and Dorion needed to get another 2nd asap. Otherwise, it makes zero sense to trade him this quick with such an underwhelming return. He doesn't get paid until September, Pierre.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I mean it's not nothing but considering some of the money thrown around today you would think a solid middle 6er like Brown could have got more.

 

[bleuetbio]

good for the Caps! I thoguht it was a good piece for the Sens, but they did a pretty good job so far too

 

[Akrapovince]

Rare Dorion L if he doesn’t make another move. Would have rather kept him and trade him at deadline for same return.

Not sure why that's funny.. That's what he's worth

 

[99ovr]

Welp I thought he would get more, at least 2 2nds or a 2nd and 3rd. Us making it abundantly clear we wanted to move him to free up space and get futures to move for a top 4 D probably drove our leverage down.

A 2024 2nd isn't going to be the make or break on a trade. Or at least in a trade of consequence.

The return at the deadline would have been higher

He's probably got more swerves lined up.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I don’t know much about Connor Brown. Just pulled up his stats and I’m not impressed with career high of 43 points.

Why do people think he’s worth a 1st?? Must play Selke quality D?

 

[Chet Manley]

Doesn't make much sense as Edmonton has cap space.

Maybe the remaining cap space and assets are better spent on defence.

 

[PostBradMalone]

Not sure why that's funny.. That's what he's worth

That’s a big negative.

 

[Ralph Malfredsson]

And so ends Hot Pierre Summer

Yeah that is fair, we have some RFAs to sign, but there isn't really a UFA D that will make a difference for us. I'd like us to pivot to make a trade for a D.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Big ups to Washington - you got a great player here. I suspect you're gonna love him!
