Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Connor Brown re-signs with Senators (3 years, $3.6M AAV)

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Dorian having a great off season. They will have more success than the other Ontario team soon enough.

spending a lot of money doesnt always equate to a good off-season. The draft was fairly meh for value at the picks and according to Dom L, spent the most money while basically being even for wins of last season's squad.

I really like the deal and Brown.

 

[DomBarr]

great deal... ! glad to see that they've avoided arbitration and that he's signed for 3 years

Tierney is next and hope that they can extend Tkachuk before the season starts

Good luck with that...even if he leans towards a bridge deal he won't sign until next offseason so there is more certainty

Lol. Well they added better players than they let go so Dom L can shuv it. It all depends on how that goalie does.

they signed Chabot to a 8yrs/64M extension last year... but there wasnt a COVID economic collapse at the time

Are one of Brown or Tierney top candidates to be exposed and taken by Seattle?

Definitely Tierney over Brown.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Are one of Brown or Tierney top candidates to be exposed and taken by Seattle?

Depends on what we do with Tierney. I could see us signing just 1yr with Tierney.

That said, our protection list will look something like this:

Tkachuk
Dadonov
Batherson
C. Brown
L. Brown
C. White
V. Abramov
F. Chlapik
C. Tierney
R. Balcers

The bolded are pretty much locks to be protected, while the others are up in the air. I suspect C. Brown is currently the next guy on that list, though, in terms of guaranteed protection, so I'd be surprised if he is exposed. If I was Seattle, the realistic guys I'm looking at are Abramov, Chlapik, Balcers, Hogberg, Daccord, and Gustavsson. It's very likely that at least one F and one G will have a very good year while still being left exposed. Tierney is a possibility, too, but if I'm Seattle, I am looking for top end talent and guys like Abramov or one of the goalies could fit the bill more than Tierney.

If Brown ends up exposed, I suspect he'd be high on their list.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Definitely Tierney over Brown.

approved

Congrats to Brown, and the Senators... as a Leaf fan, one of those guys you were sad to leave your franchise, but still wish him well in the future. One of the hardest working guys out there, that's managed to perform above expectations due to that work ethic, well deserved.

The new Macarthur

 

[DomBarr]

they signed Chabot to a 8yrs/64M extension last year... but there wasnt a COVID economic collapse at the time

neither Brady's brother or father are known for signing early plus on paper the Sens have significantly improved their offensive depth which will only benefit Brady's stat line

 

[JesusNPucks]

Seems like a great deal. Congrats, Sens fans!

Ottawa continues to have a good offseason. Great deal for a solid player

obsessed

 

[LeafGrief]

Really happy to see Brown doing so well in Ottawa! That's a good contract for a good player. I miss him dearly on the Leafs.

 

[Ciao]

Connor Brown is a very likeable player, and his contract is well deserved. However, in today's market I am a bit surprised he got that much. There's not a lot of money floating around the system.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

That is a great contract.

Anyone saying otherwise is sour grapes.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Really good deal for both sides. I would take a Connor Brown on my team any day, even more so with this contract. GM Dorion has done very well this off season.

 

[AuraSphere]

I miss brownie

Hyman, Kadri, Brownie, our 3 heart and soul players, now we just left with 1 of em

 

[Bedards Dad]

Good deal, I like CB a lot.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I like him but he will never be more than a 3rd liner on a good team. I wouldn't give him this contract in this cap environment.

 

[HSF]

I like him but he will never be more than a 3rd liner on a good team. I wouldn't give him this contract in this cap environment.

Really depends on the team he provides a lot of different elements kinda like a hyman on Toronto guys like brown can play anywhere in the lineup which is important and players that all good teams have

 

[Sting]

I like him but he will never be more than a 3rd liner on a good team. I wouldn't give him this contract in this cap environment.

He's the ideal 3rd liner though. Ottawa ain't hurting for cap space.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Connor Brown is a good one. Sens fans are happy, as they should be. Guy is a mix of a pound of skill, with a ton of effort.

As a Leafs fan, I still like Connor Brown, and I'm glad he found a spot with a new team. He deserves this. He'll be worth every penny of that contract, I'm sure.

Not sure why but in his last season in Toronto his hands completely turned to stone. Maybe the Babcock effect. I don't know. He looked like a 4th liner. It's good that he found a better situation anyway.

 

[Kelly]

a gud deal for a gud pro

 

[Korpse]

In the least surprising news of the day, the Sens sign a RFA on a backloaded deal.

In the least surprising news of the day, fan doesn’t understand current climate of NHL finances.

Players are taking a lower salary this season because a good percentage of it will be lost to escrow. The biggest contract signed this offseason is backloaded.

Nice try. Good effort.

 

[SensontheRush]

All I ever hear nowadays from Leafs fans is: Cap. Cap. Cap.

We get it. You guys live in cap hell.

Sens have NOTHING to worry about.
