nice call.. just checked.. he turns 20.... today.

but yeah.. he's an over ager.. 17 year old d-men would have a problem dealing with him.. however he isnt overly big
- Dozzer

Over ager...Isn't this his 3rd year??...

isn't Brown like 20 too? helps a lot in the CHL...
- DoubleDown

Go lick a bowleeoo picture.

So playing a 4th line Center 17+mins a game is good news?

Not sure why he laughie.... I don't see how it isn't true.
- burn

its just at your response..

you said the bolded part is true.. and there was no bolded part.. found that funny is all.

Good point
- LeafsOneBillion

If Brown is the Gagner or Kostitsyn to McDavid's Kane, I think it's still a good investment for a 6th.

tavares played in oshawa not kitchener.. hall was always in windsor

kadri racked up his point totals as the key guy in london for the most part
- Dozzer

Was Tavares just 1/2 season in London?

you cant be so linear.. mccdavid gets double teamed defensively all the time.. opening up room for guys like Brown
- Dozzer

Brown out up pretty good numbers without mcdavid as a 16-17 year old.

- Feeling Glucky?

if a guy has an AHL career it was not a bad pick in the 6th.

Brown plays on the first line with Fox at centre.... McDavid plays on the 2nd line... they're not even linemates.
- Delryk

They were to start the season, no?

Too much pressure for a 20 year old.
- mykokes

He played well earlier this year. Didn't look out of place and had lots of chances.

I think he started a year late

Agreed.

i you trying to suggest that brown = mcdavid?

not sure what you are getting at here.

- iTOLDu

He did, but against the quicker teams he looked a little slow. I like him a lot, but it's his first pro season, let him get top line minutes in the AHL. Holland and Ashton are further along in their development, it shows when the three of them are in the lineup for the Marlies.

Holland is NHL ready now though I believe.

OH.. i thought you were talking about my post

ok.. caught up now lol

Overage is 21.

He could not play in the AHL yet, this he HAS TO play in the ohl.

i you trying to suggest that brown = mcdavid?

not sure what you are getting at here.
- Dozzer

He's suggesting that Brown is a decent prospect and this goes beyond being a now-20 year old. I think he's better than McKegg was....really might be another Wellwood.

Agreed.
- burn

You know, for all the poop he takes, Gagner being in the league for 7 years and being only 24 years old is really (frank)ing impressive.

yup.. like i said he just turned 20 today

i you trying to suggest that brown = mcdavid?

- Dozzer

No.

It's exactly what it says. He was good before mcdavid. He's not a product of mcdavid, not riding coattails.


Nowhere did i say he's = or anything.

yup.. like i said he just turned 20 today
- Dozzer

So he's not overaged

- mykokes

another consideration

if mcdavid isnt on his line then brown isnt facing the top pairings.

he'll be drawing the second pairing guys.

some success in the OHL for a 170lb kid doesnt make me all hopeful is all.

Woulda been the youngest UFA in history if he didn't resign for 3 years
