TSN: Brown to EDM for 4th rounder in 2014

[Mess]

Holzer, Reimer, or Frattin.

Exactly as that is what Leafs got with previous 4th rounders.

 

[Antropovsky]

I totally agree. Some of the stuff he does makes me feel embarassed as a fan of the team. Really sleazy, cheap shot type of guy.

I found it funny when Burkie announced that he was proud to re sign Brown. Typical smoke and mirrors speech about what Brown brings to the table. I found Brown to be a horrible PK guy...except for the few blocked shots he took - which ironically side-lined him for months.

Good to see him off the team.

I'm happy he's gone too, lots of energy and effort, but as much production as our heavyweights, or even less production.

I knew the writing was on the wall for him, once Caryle was hired.

My view on this trade:
Saheb S. ‏@LeafRocket
Mike brown, aka #Brownbeaut has been traded to the oilers for a 2014 fourth round pick. #leafs #TMLTalk #NHL #Oilers. He's unfortunately the man that had to go due the emergence of Frazer and still coming up Leo super pest. A true competitor who will give a 110% every night on every single shift. A fearless fight that'll dance with a Goliath if need be. His only flaw was he was getting injured in the worst way possible. Hopefully he'll be much more conditioned in the oilers team.
He'll be missed in the leafs for his competitiveness, awesome handlebars and energy #Leafs #TMLTalk

Seriously gonna miss this guy. Hope for the oilers to make the playoffs so we can get the third rounder instead.

Agree with this. Loved Brownie when he played, but he couldn't stay in the lineup because he kept hurting himself with his hustle. He is now my favorite Oiler player.

 

[Kiotzu]

You know by the players tweeting about Brown leaving that he was well liked in the locker room

The guy had a lot more flaws than that.

Two off the top of my head:

1) No skill
2) Takes bad penalties consistently (despite his limited icetime)

Sad to see him go, but now Frattin has a spot.

he's a fourth line fighter, he isn't suppose to be a skilled player from the get go. Neither are players like Orr or Frazer. They are supposed to be good cycle workers and all three players were great at that. As far as the penalties I didn't many that stuck out to me at all during his tenure here.

 

[Nizdizzle]

I liked Brown, and am sad to see him go. He definitely filled a role at one point, but we have too many players and not enough spots. He was the most expendable.

Oilers will be happy with him, just as most Leaf fans were the first half of his tenure with the team.

 

[Sonny21]

Good trade for both teams. My god, the overreaction in the main boards. If you read it, you'd think Oilers traded 1st/2nd for Brown.

 

[Rockinz]

Making room for Frattin it looks like.

Thanks Brown!

 

[Will Billiams]

4th Rounder from Edmonton is like a 3rd Rounder anyway.

Whoops! Never mind, brain fart.

 

[LV*]

Great trade for us. Robbery.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Sucks to see brown go, but this is a good deal and it tbh he was an odd man out.

 

[legendinblue]

Take care Mike.

That 5 minute major against the Habs last week comes to mind.

There was one against Buffalo too.

And remember this is a guy who doesn't play every game (gets scratched) and when he does play he plays very few minutes.

So despite receiving very little ice time at all, he manages to hurt us.

I don't know which is the worse aspect of his game...the fact that he takes costly penalties or the fact he is just a terrible hockey player.

We robbed Edmonton.

Both those were very iffy, borderline calls though.

In Browns defense, that was an awful call.

 

[LEAFSIN4]

So happy about this lol

Brown brings absolutely nothing to the table. He takes stupid penalties, isn't a sherif on the ice... he really serves no purpose with players like Orr and MacLaren on the team, yet he managed to find himself in the lineup far too often.

sums up my thoughts exactly

his effort got him into the lineup, but in this league effort alone is fools gold

 

[Bomber0104]

Sorry but when you have a track record of taking dumb penalties I'm not so forgiving...should we delve into the stupid penalties he took last year as well?

 

[member 147413]

Wow... a fourth rounder? That's actually surprisingly good, we know McLaren and Orr are both better then him at what they do, really no loss here.

I liked him though.

 

[Mindrust]

Edmonton wins this one easily.

Horrible trade by Nonis.

that was a god awful call still laughing on how he even got that. NHL didn't even give me a call or anything lol.

we got a fourth rounder back...possible a third rounder if they make the playoffs. We got him for a fourth rounder in the past as well too Don't see how this is a horrible trade. It's making way for new ones that are coming up from the system. He also mentioned, that he told brown, don't be surprised if I trade for you a third time

Oh god.
