laaaaaame.

Ok Brown, now is your time to shine.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Damn this kid can't catch a break

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

broken left wrist

Damn this kid can't catch a break

Awkward choice of wording.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

That's the wrist he had surgery on... Hope he heals up well and has a full recovery.

Bad Break ...


PD has to bring in a forward imo... Boro and/or Wideman could be trade bait

 

[PatrickEaves]

Trade Boro for a 2nd line center!

[Baby Ryan]

Was looking forward to seeing more of him

 

[coladin]

Good opportunity for Brown here. Maybe it is best hat White started in Bingo anyways and continue to develop his offensive game. I don't need him to play defensively, while nice as it is. But he should work on his playmaking in Bingo anyways.

 

[Blarginator]

Damn that sucks. Poor guy. We're quickly running out of forwards...

 

[benjiv1]

Bad timing, but I doubt there would have been room for both him and Brown to start the year.

Brown probably gets the 9 game look, and by that time Brassard is back. White can draw back in mid November or start the year in Belleville.

Forward depth is going to be stretched very thin considering most of us had MacArthur and White in the top 9.

Hopefully Dzingle is ready to go soon:

Smith-Turris-Stone
Hoffman-Pageau-Ryan
Dzingle-Brown-Burrows
McCormick-Thompson-Pyatt

Phaneuf-Chabot
Oduya-Ceci
Boro-Wideman-Claessen

 

[PatrickEaves]

Think there's any chance we make a panic trade for Matt Duchene?

 

[DanyHeatley]

Rnh?

 

[Micklebot]

On the other hand, this was just the break Brown needed to crack the roster.

all kidding aside, this sucks.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

With all of those slashing penalties being called...its Jagr time on the PP!

 

[TheNewEra]

if brown cant take advantage of this and earn the spot he needs to be traded for an upgrade

i actually think chlapik has a good shot here

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Really bad timing for him. This was a great opportunity for him to earn Boucher's trust with Brassard out and the team needing centers in the NHL. This was probably the worst timing possible and of course we all know Colin White will be in the NHL eventually, maybe this sets White back in terms of how quickly he becomes a regular NHLer with somebody like Chlapik instead taking advantage.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

A Jagr signing will be nice right now

I disagree. Brown is still very much a project. When we drafted him, the book was that he was a very risky pick. If the Sens trade him, I think it'll be a case of they had to give up somebody to get somebody rather than they got scared off. It doesn't make sense to use such a high pick on a boom/bust guy and then get scared off two years after drafting him because he doesn't make the NHL under a coach who heavily scrutinises any playing under 35.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Wideman traded for a forward. Lots of people on this board have speculated about it, but White's injury along with Jaros' play so far might expedite that. The Sens could package Hammond with Wideman to make it work salary wise if they are near their upper limit. Hammond has a 1.5M real money salary, but only costs 325k buried. The Sens could acquire a forward making over 2M and have it be salary in/salary out for themselves while freeing up cap for the team they are trading with.

boucher is harder on the young guys thats for sure

but with mac/brassard/white now out a young guy has to make the team, doesnt matter where they are in the development its whoever takes advantage of the situation

brown is very much a project i agree and he is a little bit away from making the jump and being a full blown regular but this shows the players drive imo

if he isnt/doesnt have the drive to take advantage of a prime situation then you should look to deal him now before others figure it out

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Brown is still a project but my opinion is that he showed better at the rookie tournament and the main camp scrimmage than Colin White has.

 

[hawthy]

Why can't we have nice things?

Ever.

 

[Micklebot]

So... Boucher want's players over 35, why not ship off Wideman, Boro and Hammond for futures, use the space to sign Jagr. Easy-peasy

Seriously though; Brown and Chlapik will get a chance to audition in the next few games.

He was more noticeable for sure but that's also his game.

White play an under the radar type of game by doing good thing all over the ice.

Anyway, you are making a good point Brown was very good and engaged. I liked what i saw.

I hope we are able to see Brown run the PP tonight. He is good at doing it.

Jagr isn't coming to Ottawa. It's way too cold here.
