Naw. Brown comes from a hockey family. By all means he's not a mouth breather like Cowen. He's got a.few knocks against him: skating, compete, toughness (injury prone). He'll have had 9 month to prepare himself for the next season.

Not compete, he competes hard.

he doesn't get ahead of the play at the NHL level, he also coasts. not saying he won't get it but it ertainly hasn't clicked yet at the NHL level.

I can definitely see him packaged with the isles picks + to move up in the draft if the Sens end up with Byfield and Rossi. There would be no need for Brown. Imagine they end up with Rossi, Byfield and Quinn/Mercer. My lord

Stop it. Stop doing that to me.

This is why we have so many picks, prospects, and cap space. To make a franchise altering move.

Nashville, Florida, and Pittsburgh all seem like teams that would be willing to trade for the right reasons. A cap dump, Isles 1st, a 2nd, and a good prospect.

I said stop it.

I'm not sure why Melnyk would comment on trade speculation, but he said they won't be trading 3 and 5 for #1.

You haven’t figured out that reason yet? Sorry, can’t help you in that case.

Because Bruce would have e-mailed him and asked. He's the owner, of course he's going to know what they're doing with their top picks.

I'm more scared about melnyks comments about the Leafs having no defence. Makes me think we're drafting Drysdale

Would be a fantastic choice. It will be him or Raymond.

for the first time in what has almost been a decade, I'm actually relieved by something Melnyk has said.

in all seriousness, this isles pick just keeps going down in the standing. i have no doubt that the sens will use a second-rounder to move it up but i don't see them being able to move it in the top 15.
may they prove me wrong.

Isles won't last past the first round, but I would rather trade the pick in a package for a good NHL player

Yes, thank you for explaining that to me, I had no idea.


What I'm saying is, I don't know why he would make ANY comments about what their intentions are. Don't give ANYTHING away.

No it doesn’t. It only changes if they make final 4. And, they haven’t even beat Washington yet.

If Raymond is available at 5, he is the only option that should be entertained. It basically means two of the prior 4 teams made mistakes in their choices and we’ve been given a gift.

I disagree, I have him 5th so it would be bang on for me

Drysdale and chabot would be amazing for the next decade plus. I'd be thrilled
