Proposal: Nolan Patrick to Ottawa

[Mogo]

With Logan Brown not even being on the taxi squad, you have to imagine it's most likely the scenario he gets traded very soon - which is unfortunate as everyone would agree he's mostly in this position because of being poorly managed by the Sens organization. The Sens having guys like Anisimov, Paquette, Galchenyuk and even Haley, Chlapik, Peca ahead of him just screams mismanagement.

That being said, I'm also not sure what the Flyers are trying to do with Nolan Patrick. I'm sure they still like him, but again, he wasn't drafted by Chuck Fletcher, and there's no clue if he will ever return to form. I understand he's a 2nd OA pick, but after 3 years, the first two being a bit underwhelming and then the 3rd, him not even playing a single game, you have to wonder if now might not be the best time to bank on the player before he's worth just as much as Yakupov (who was traded after this 4th year in the league for... not much).

What I suggest:

To OTT:
Nolan Patrick

To PHI:
Logan Brown
Chris Tierney/OTT or SJS 2nd round draft pick, whichever happens the latest
OTT 6th round draft pick

Logan Brown, who still has great upside, gets his opportunity playing in a different system, a fresh start with great linemates, and if it doesn't pan out, Flyers also get Chris Tierney. Tierney himself is worth a 2nd round pick, he's definitely not a bad player, on a great contract, can play in any middle-6 role.

Sens take a shot at a former highly touted prospect whose career is up in the air. It's highly doubtful that Patrick would be worth a 1st, even a late one at this point, so the trade proposal of Patrick for Brown and Tierney/2nd round pick makes sense for both organizations.

Why? He'll likely never play again

If Logan Brown can't crack the Senators, I don't see why any team would give much value for him. Ottawa is one of the best scouting and development teams in the league and if they don't believe a player is worth a shot, there is no way in hell i'm paying an asset for that player.

I think Sens brass is making a mistake not playing this kid. I don't expect he will be traded this year.

 

[TheKingPin]

Patrick is about to have a breakout season. It’s hardly thought of as trading him before his value tanks. He finally is starting to gain value.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Patrick is like 1 hit away from retiring, Ottawa should look elsewhere

Yeah, that's not how migraines work.

Then by using that logic, he isn't worth much if he can't crack the lineup under this management.

I reduce my offer to a 3rd for Brown.

Lol ok doc.

 

[Tripod]

You mean the guy who is playing with JVR and Vorscek as his wingers tonight?

 

[howkie]

Lol ok doc.

They guy who got his head smacked by Morin and kept playing?
You seem to be clueless

 

[tictactoe]

Flyers trying to win now. Flyers pass.

 

[1dreamof1cup]

You talking about the guy who hasn't playing in over 600 days because of migraines which he was battling too when he was younger? One bad hit and he is done.

Just wait

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Not saying injuries don't count but if u put aside Patrick's injuries he's on the roster from day one....

Point is, that 1 hit you talk about has already happend, when Morin headhunted him vi (by misstanke I assume)

 

[Flyer lurker]

Other than tonight?

Migraines. Aren't. Concussions.

That isn't how it works.

In terms of prospects and development, the Sens have very few misses they let slip by. I can't think of a time where the Sens gave up on a prospect that actually developed into something.

 

[Jumptheshark]

This doesn't make sense for Philly at all. Hard pass.

My reaction as well. If he stays healthy he will be a good top 6 guy

 

[Tripod]

Just wait

OK.

He is playing in 10 minutes.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Unpopular opinion but Brown > Patrick. Kid is going to be a star.

 

[Tripod]

Reminder, despite what Patrick has gone thru, he is still 5th in career points from that draft year. Nothing in the future is guaranteed. But at least we have Frost ready to go if he does miss games.

 

[Evergreen]

He's playing right now.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Patrick has minimal value right now. Would be very dumb to sell this low, much rather see what he can do.

 

[Tripod]

Hmmm.....Patrick with a goal tonight. Guess he is playing.

Patrick has a migraine issue, not a concussion issue. Patrick is no more likely to suffer a career ending blow to the head than any other player in the NHL. Patrick's issues are not trauma induced. What does getting hit have to do with them? It's you who looks clueless. You heard headaches, and assumed he has the same issue as someone who suffers from post-concussion syndrome.
