Teams accommodate players often. It’s not working here, you want a trade? Here you go. Good luck.
It’s crappy organizations that try to force round pegs into square holes. Ottawa buys good will to give this guy a fresh start. 2016 draft wasn’t very good anyway.
Yes, teams accommodate players often. If Brown is traded for a 3rd, it will be a case of Ottawa accommodating him.
You know how else they could accommodate him? By giving him a chance to play NHL minutes with skilled players in offensive situations. He's done a lot to warrant that opportunity and has been far from an unmitigated failure when given such opportunity in the past.
I would go with the latter, personally, over the former. That is all that my comment was about. If Ottawa has no interest in doing the latter, they will do the former (or whatever the best option is).
