He really should just play some games in Belleville first. I agree it probably won’t be pretty if he starts in Ottawa now. And people are so ready to call him a bust.This thread is going to be awful in the next couple of days once he plays.
He needs NHL reps. Just get him in there and give it 5 games. If he doesn't start improving then send him to the AHL. If Haley, Anisimov and Stepan can all take regular shifts with their ability to play with speed Brown will be able to too.He really should just play some games in Belleville first.

Even though he’s 22
I ....still can’t believe the brain trust of this team thought stepan and anisimov could make up 2/3rds of an NHL top 9 center position.He needs NHL reps. Just get him in there and give it 5 games.

First two games might be rough but he needs to be given the same opportunity as there rest of the team to work through them. Everyone else pretty much got 10 games to get it together.
You jinxed itThis thread is going to be awful in the next couple of days once he plays.
I guess.This thread is going to be awful in the next couple of days once he plays.
Under the circumstances it’s a good plan.He is going to be able to practice and play 3 games in Belleville over the week. Good opportunity for him to get up to game speed when they call him up to the Sens.
He needs alot more than 2 games, look how long its taken so many other players. I just hope people have patience on both sides of the coin here, anyone jumping to any conclusions on a tiny sample size should probably look into a new hobby.I guess.
Either he plays aweful and those who wanted him in the lineup to see what we have get their answer in disapointing fashion, followed by a waive of I told you so
He plays great and we get a bunch of i told you so comments ripping on management, and those suppoting the decision to keep him out until now
He plays somewhere in between and both sides claim victory tell everyone who will listen they told them so.
My prediction, nobody will eat any crow regardless of how he plays, prove me wrong

Thats too bad about Logan. If Reilly is coming out for Coburn thats good news. I wonder if the coaching staff was paying attention to Reilly's new thing of jumping in front of his own goalie at the last second to create a screen and think to themselves. Wait a minute he is on our team.
Pretty sure they sent Brannstrom to the taxi squad and bag skatted him in practice. Coburn was lined up with Gudbranson so that should be fun...Thats too bad about Logan.

Logical. No, im not being sarcastic.
They may have also said this a few times last year.Isn't this exactly what they said last time?

This really isn’t a big deal. Let them do their thing. He’ll be back next week.Isn't this exactly what they said last time?
At least he'll get into a few games in Belleville. Kinda stupid having him sit on the taxi squad for who know how long now doing whatever. I get this is a weird year with covid protocols and all that, but it really feels like they don't have much of a plan happening here.
