I wouldn't trust Brown to necessarily "run the PP" at the NHL level. Playing AHL and doing it is completely different than doing it in the NHL. He'll be more like a JVR at the NHL level, a net front presence that can top pucks. That being said, Mennell is a decent starting value. A good puck moving d-man with average defensive ability. Anyone undervaluing him just because he went undrafted doesn't know what they're talking about. A lot of good players go ubdrafted, doesn't change that they're good. The issue for Ottawa becomes that they don't need any d-man. They're loaded with prospects. Chabot, Bernard-Docker, Sanderson, Brannstrom, and Thompson are already there that have high ceilings, so it just doesn't fit Ottawa getting one. They need a top 6 centre prospect the most, Brown is likely that. So they just don't have a reason to move him for this. They'd likely only move him for a hugger ceiling centre prospect, something that Minnesota wouldn't do. Just doesn't add up right
