Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] F Connor Brown signs with the Oilers (1 years, $775k + $3.225M bonuses)

[2CHAINZ]

Reunited with McDavid

Connor and Connor when they meet in Edmonton for the first time.

 

[GreeningOil]

Hopefully Brown isn’t gonna swerve the Oil and sign in Pittsburgh

 

[thefutures]

Need the numbers

 

[fahad203]

He's easily good enough to play on McDavid's wing. Something Yamo couldn't do. Brown can actually put the puck in the net.

He can but he shouldn't. Doesn't have the foot speed
Good depth player who can PK

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Kane - McDavid - Brown
Hyman - Draisatl - RNH

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Need confirmation after Nieto

 

[Skolman]

Sounds like the deal isn't done.

Shut up Weekes.

Foot speed isn't the problem with McDavid wingers, it's their brains.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

TSN saying a deal isn't done yet.

It isn't done until it's done. Thanks for cranking the swerve alarm up Dreger, you colossal twit.

McDavid got 20 goals out of Pat Marroon. I think Connor Brown would be okay there.

 

[Mr Positive]

I'd think they have to hammer out the bonus conditions

hopefully not to jump to a different team. If so, get on with it

 

[McJesusSaves97]

lol Bunting and Brodie are heading to Edmonton next if Brodie gets bought out.

Sure, throw em on the pile

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Good pickup from Edmonton

He seems like a guy who can play up and down the lineup

 

[PromisedLand]

Brown is a solid player if healthy. Stevie Y helping Holland and Oilers out. And Brown will definitely help oilers out.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Sounds like the deal isn't done.

Shut up Weekes.

yeah he annoys me becausw he ALWAYS jumps the gun.

 

[Kalopsia]

Guessing it'll be a 1 year deal for him to rebuild his value next to McDavid coming off the ACL. Really bummed by how things worked out with him in Washington. So ironic that the guy they brought in to fill in for Wilson while he was out with his ACL tear immediately tore his ACL. We should've known the season was cursed at that point.

 

[Rude Dog]

Always been a fan of Connor. Preferred he was still with the Leafs East instead of West.

 

[Warden of the North]

Brown was an excellent third liner winger with the Leafs. Hope he can stay healthy

 

[CupInSIX]

Kane - McDavid - Brown
Hyman - Draisatl - RNH

Best top 6 in the league?

 

[HarrisonFord]

Seems like a lot for a guy who didn’t play last year

 

[Mr Positive]

Tossing off all that cap to next season? Okay. Hopefully the bonuses make it so that if next year is a disaster we don't have too much overage

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Wow!!! I thought the base salary would be much higher, in the 2m range with bonuses extra that would take him to the 3.5-4m range. Holland you SOB, I'm impressed. We signed Janmark, Ryan and Brown for a 2.65m cap hit this season.

Kane - McDavid - Brown
RNH - Draisaitl - Hyman

WE just added a RW who's a character guy, two way player, PKer, knows/played with McDavid, who wants to be in Edmonton. Got him signed near league min for this season (deferred bonuses to next season when the cap jumps) and we will see plenty of the usual suspects trying to crap on the deal.

 

[Dominance]

I wonder what the bonus conditions are. I’m assuming they must be incredibly low - “he touches the ice twice” - to sign that contract.

 

[Mr Positive]

Seems like a lot for a guy who didn’t play last year

If he's awful then he won't get his bonuses.

But there is also opportunity cost. Basically, if Brown sucks, then all the other options have already been signed up. So there is still big risk here

The selling point is the favorable structure of the deal and that makes it worth it. We also do have a bit of a safety net in Bourgault in the system as a talented RW

 

[Boud]

Incredible deal.
