Seems like a big overpayment by Calgary lol

What?

Don't sign Gustafsson. Sign Stone get rid of Stall keep Backlund

I find it hysterical how when Leafs fan said Connor Brown was better than a bottom 6 player, and that he'd show that with more playing time - got laughed at on this site for "overvaluing their players" and whatever other nonsense... then there's ideas like this to acquire him.

I saw that and was happy that I was finally going to be able to say "finally someone who is respecting Connor Brown's value!"

But a bit too much respect lol



They were totally right though

Connor Brown is approaching Selke Winger level

- He was 2nd in takeaways last season (behind Mark Stone of course)
- He received Selke votes (17th)
- Total beast on the PK : routinely gets more scoring chances than the opposition
- used heavily in a defensive deployment (34.0 oZS% vs 66.0 dZS%) but still provides good offense (61st for Even Strenght Points among NHL players since 2019-20)
- He has scored at a 24 goals/50 pts pace in Ottawa (127 GP)

His speed, non-stop motor and flawless work ethic is a beautiful thing to watch.

Awful trade for Calgary
