JM_ Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 OK so I might need an air sickness bag to deal with it, but it seems to me LA needs to shed some salary and veterans, and we need higher end prospects. Brown is a worm, but a worm that can still contribute on the 3rd line and add some much needed nastiness to our lineup. Does this work: Brown with 50% salary retained (2.9375 mil cap for 5 more years) + LAs 2nd rounder (41st OA) = SJS 4th (the Hansen trade pick) Whatever else you think of Brown, he is a big upgrade on Crammer, Skille, Shore and Chaput (all of whom could be easily let go frankly) and at under 3 mil is appropriately priced for what you'll get, and is also an easy buy out in seasons 4 and 5 if he really goes south. And lets face it he does bring some scumbag factor and we won't be as easily pushed around. And we get to upgrade our 4th to another 2nd. So is this worth the pick upgrade?

Pears Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 LA has nothing that we would want in order for us to take Brown off their hands. Maybe their 1st round pick, but Brown at this stage is just a glorified Dorsett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If I'm J.B. I would want Brown, but I'd up the ante and play hardball with L.A. Here's the thing, once Dustin's gone all they need to do is dump Gaborik and that's nearly $10 million available. Considering we're in the same division and the very same cap space that Brown is eating up could be used to sign or acquire some very valuable assets, I'd want J.B. to push for a 1st for taking on such a long-term deal as Dustin's. If they want to find support for Carter, Toffoli, Pearson and Kopitar up front (or if they even want to re-sign both Tanner and Tyler) then they better be ready to pony up or put up with an albatross for 5 more years.

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Even only a 1st is debatable. GoodGawd..it's like 5.8 mill for 6 more yrs. Even at 50% the guy's hit is a slap in the maw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they are that desperate, but they may be. If they traded us Brown under those conditions and they made the tough call to buy out Gaborik, then they actually have some real cap space and roster space to add youth and speed, exactly what they need to get the most out of the rest of the aging core.

Man, after the disrespect they showed us in 2012, S'all..just don't know man? How about a similar concept with an Eastern club? MacDonald in Philly, or someone like Callahan in TBay?

HerrDrFunk Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I don't know. The move does make sense for both teams but don't you think Brown would immediately have a huge target on his back from the DoPS for being both Dustin Brown and a Canuck?

I kid, sure that would be fine too, I just think LA is on the ropes a bit and there could be a workable deal there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley2051 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'd say it's just as strategic to let LA be handcuffed with that awful contract. 1 minute ago, HerrDrFunk said: I don't know.
