The Sens need W & D so I don't expect them to draft centers unless they project them as W. Brown is slotted as #1 center. He'll be a 25+g 55+a.

What evidence suggests that Logan Brown is going to be anywhere close to a top line center? I strongly doubt he'll score 80p anytime soon, of course I hope I'm wrong

On big team he played 23g averaged 11min. icetime scored 8 pts. He played most of games with bookends, spot duty no rhythm, C & LW, got benched after every mistake. Now give him 71gms with 19min icetime(tachuck), quality icetime, quality player & love from coach he would have finished with 50-55pts. With his creativity, vision, hands & size & more experience he'll generate 75-85pts. I saw a lot of Belleville games & he dominates down there. Only problem is lack of games because of injuries which for now puts him a little behind but with some love from coach & reps he'll catch up.

Not agree. You can put him on the first trio if he don’t win his ice time. He miss intensity in his game

I have to agree with this.

I understand the point above this but I don't agree with it.

If Logan Brown was meant to be in the NHL, he'd BE in the NHL ! If he was meant to play in the top 6, he'd be in the top 6 !

Colin White struggled this year. Pageau leaving created a spot. Yet he is NOT there. MAyyyyyyybe one day Logan Brown can be a 2nd/3rd line center but nothing shows me he is on the path to being #1 center. He was drafted 4 YEARS AGO. Matthew Tkachuk was drafted 5 spots ahead of him and has almost played 300 games. Jost 1 spot ahead has more than 200 NHL games under his belt. Even Brett Howden who was drafted at the end of the 1st round has a full season worth of games. But Brown has just 29 games played and tbh almost all of us don't remember him being impactful

I hope I'm wrong but he has to prove himself a lot in the next 4-5 months otherwise Batherson and Norris have passed him and won't look back

He's a big man (huge) he looks like he's not working until you compete against him. He does not make the game look difficult. Because he's smooth doesn't mean he lacks intensity.

Reading all your comments concerning the draft eligible players for 2020 and the prospects in Belleville you must see a lot of their games. Personally I can't and won't comment on 2020 draft class because I haven't seen them but I've seen most Belleville games. Brown and Batherson were by far the best F and Wolanin best D. Don't forget Smith is a Midget coach and he's in way over his head so you can't accept everything he says or he does.

PS:In 2021-22 after Smith and Co. are gone. At center #1 Brown, #2 Pinto, #3 White or Norris
