For the record.


When I say Brown is ready it doesn't mean I'm saying other players are not ready. (frank) stamkos

I like sosh, but what makes him more ready? Brown scored more points then him in the ahl and in the nhl this year in less games.

I don't understand how sosh is ready and brown isn't.

Except one of Soshnikov or Hyman can fill in that 3rd line role. Brown is a top 6 guy when he is ready.

They do not play the same game.

Again, Brown 100% has the higher ceiling. But he isn't playing in the top 6 next year and he's not filling the third line role over one of those guys.

They'll let him continue to develop in the AHL where he belongs.

Nice will be easy to move if need be.

There are guys from his draft that've played 200+ NHL games already. If he's not ready yet even though he's done well at every level then I don't what know to say. He's Rielly's age.

He did say that yes.

But the others still made it over him.
Thats more telling imo.

Just saying.

No need to call me old and angry!

I still think Brown makes it and 1 of Sosh/Hyman .. people are forgetting about Michalek, Greening, and Lupul will most likely be in the opening night lineup.

Tank job

Why can't brown play on the 3rd line? Where he played for the leafs last year? Where Matthews is going to be this year? No reason why brown can't play on the 3rd line this year.

You guys read up on TIMOTHY LILJEGREN? Supposed to be the next great D prospect in the draft next year. Best D prospect since Ekblad and supposedly will give Nolan Patrick a run for #1 overall... Would love to get him.

Nobody made it at the start of the season, all the kids went to the AHL.

By the time that they started having to bring some up from the AHL, Brown was dealing with an injury that kept him out long-term. He was then kept in the AHL afterwards to get back up to speed.

heard great things...unfortunately I don't think we'll finish last again...I don't even think we'll finish bottom 5.

Don't need facts here

You think Brown will develop well in a 3rd line checking role? Give me a break.
