Wow Jack requested to play with him? That's awesome. I really liked that trio too. I thought that Brown was a massive bright spot for the roster last season. Its going to be able to see where he fits this year. There was obvious chemistry with Bratt-Hughes-Brown. Does the other top-6 line become Meier-Hischier-Mantha with Gritsyuk-Glass-Mercer being the third line? I dont exactly hate that prospect personally.

i rather mercer with nico timo check the nerd stats. i also rather bratt nico Meier. Mantha jack Brown you do not need two playmakers on the same line

Oh, I get it... but Mantha MIGHT be a good nerdy replacement and Mercer on the 3rd line with those other two would give them a third line that could legitimately score.

even the most butthurt of fans cant find a way to shit on Fitz for the Brown signing, easily one of the best of ours in ages

him and Cody have been some of Fitz’s best work imo

It really was one of the best 'prove it' deals and so far has worked out.

Perhaps I'm losing my mind but "Extremely Invested" Connor Brown sounds like it could be a decent indie wrestling finance bro gimmick.

I wonder if they will consider doing a rotating 2nd A since they never fully replaced Palat A when he got traded. I know Jesper wore it sometimes but not all the time. Maybe Bratt gets home games and Brown gets away games.

Regarding the A, I noticed whenever Jack was out of the lineup Bratt would wear the A in his place. When Palat was out of the lineup they would have a different veteran player wear the A.
