Good luck getting a 2nd for L. Brown.
This is a "what have you done lately" league! I would really like to see him play top 6 minutes for at least 10-15 games and then decide if you should pull the plug but I get the impression Brown is not the style of player that fits into DJ's blueprint. If he can't make the taxi squad after this many years it has to tell you something!
Let's be careful with this because it was roster or AHL for Brown Formenton, Brannstrom and others,... The only "prospects" on the taxi squad are Daccord (only bc you need 3 goalies), Chlapik (23 y/o, looked like he was "graduating" last year) and Aspirot (never drafted). Also Zub but already 25 y/o and has 6 full KHL seasons under his belt.
The taxi squad is for players that won't really get games unless things go bad (players struggle, injuries or covid). But some other teams seem to have some better prospects on their TS, probably in the meantime the AHL begins. But they're not contenders like the Sens
Easier said than done. It makes a little too much sense.
What are you talking about?
Rebuild teams ONLY play lottery picks and high end prospects. If you're not a perfect prospect or if you are a possibly a support/role player, you don't make the Ottawa Senators. We are way too good for them.
Prospects don't do Sens roster.
