Value of: Connor Brown to Toronto

[93LEAFS]

He was like a 4th generation Leafs fan - His dream was to be a Leaf.

Also real popular in the room. I remember hearing Marner say that Brown's (said Brownie like every hockey player nicknames teammates with the ie or y at the end) was the hang out spot for the young Leafs.

 

[The Man with a Plan]

I thought he did alright. Got traded cause Ottawa needed a middle 6 player.

He got traded because he just couldn't find a groove with any of the lines. He bounced around and nothing stuck. Nice guy but a middling player at best

 

[MattySnipes]

Brown cow. He's a good guy. Purely as a defensive forward I wouldn't mind him back. I know his scoring touch is crap, even though he scored a nice goal against Leafs last game.

If he comes for practically free I don't mind, but I feel the Sens will hang onto him. People don't mention a lot but he seems like a big part of that team (imo)

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No too soft

Brown is not a soft player

 

[Petrus]

I remember when Babcock wanted to spark the Matthews line, Babcock would replace Nylander with Brown and create the Hyman-Matthews-Brown line. How about trying Marner out for once? Fun times.

 

[I am Canadian]

He was traded because he was too expensive at 2M and now he's more expensive. Doesn't make sense

 

[RogerR]

He was pricey at 2.25 now at 3.6 no thnaks

Oh that guy was such a moron

Brown > Vesey or Galchenyuk

 

[LeafalCrusader]

We just traded away 2 of our 3 million dollar 3rd liners and will probably be trying to dump Kerfoot in the off-season. We can't afford him.

 

[TimeZone]

Lmao, no, just no.

 

[Dache]

He scored 20 goals precisely one time on Matthews' wing lol.

I think you missed the sarcasm

 

[BrawlFan]

Leafs fan propose. Leafs fan(s) tell Ottawa he has no chance of coming back. Leafs thread. I like Brown. He's worth more here simply because he brings some veteran leadership. I wouldn't trade him for peanuts which is what is being offered. /thread

 

[BertCorbeau]

Love Brown, hard worker and brings a lot of good qualities but his salary is tough to fit in and bottom six RW's aren't really a strong need. Need a more legit top 6 LW option.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Very happy with him in Ottawa. He was the sweetener for us to get rid of the worst D man in hockey in exchange for Zaitsev who has been a rare bright light beyond Chabot on the back end this year. What a trade that was.

 

[patriotfan]

Connor Brown has proven chemistry with the Leaf stars and could help the forward depth as he can move anywhere in the lineup.

He has been coached by Keefe and is familiar with his system so it looks like there's value there. If the dollars could work out, within reason, what could be the price tag for Toronto?

i wish we still had him i like this player but the ship has sailed.........

Peanuts are not being offered. Nothing is being offered. There is no fit on the Leafs for him. He's not the type of player Toronto needs.

Ya who needs a good 2 way forward, good for a 1/2 point per game.

 

[AvroArrow]

He had too many guys ahead of him in the lineup which is why he was traded in the first place. I love the guy and his work ethic but there's no spot for him here.

 

[rosscow]

Who is he going to replace?

Sure but he's not getting 18/20 mins a night in Toronto like he's in Ottawa or most teams for that matter.

As a sens fan, I've never understood why you gave us Brown in that trade. He's been great for us. I know our standards aren't the highest but you could have got more for him i think.

 

[Stephen]

I don’t know. Proven 20 goal scorer won’t come cheap.

He's more of a "one time" 20 goal scorer and that was back in 2016-17. Alex Galchenyuk scored 30 in 2015-16 and we got him for nothing.

I think the "poisoned pill" in that trade was taking Zaitsev, though he's not that bad if you don't have any cap issues.

I’m aware. I’m referring to how some posts claimed Conner Brown was so valuable back then, but now that season was cause he’s was riding shotgun to Matthews
