If the plan is to play Brown 8 minutes with Austin Watson, just trade him now. He's not going to change the Team's mind if he's not put in a situation to succeed. Throw him in the deep end. Give him real linemates, real minutes and let him prove what he is or isn't.
I know but there are a few issues that need resolving when it comes to Logan Brown.
1. In order to trade him, you need to find another team that would want him.
2. Because he doesn't play any position other than centre, he has to fight for ice time against centres who are already proven NHL players for the Sens.
Based on this post, Tkachuk, Norris, Paul, White, Stutzle, Tierney, Batherson, Dzingel and Anisimov can all play centre.
That's 9 different players that Logan Brown has to compete against for ice time.
That's tough.
3. When he played last season, his ice time dwindled for some reason and this season, he couldn't even make the final roster out of training camp.
I'm not saying he will, for sure, get 10 minutes of ice time and to tell you the truth, I wish he was more than just surplus labour.
But there are reasons why Anisimov has already played for the Sens and Logan Brown has not.
They probably have already been established between coaching and management, which is why Logan Brown is the odd man out more often than not.
If on paper he looks like a bust, plays like a bust and gets the ice time of a bust, then he's probably a bust :/
