Ottawa is light on right side D, and I like this simply for the chance to keep Brannstrom on the left side. I agree it seems too much for a depth D, but from the TB side though, they have cap issues, and Brown can play at the NHL level, and for $700K. That has value for TB, and Ottawa needed to give a little extra for that. Ottawa could have found a cheaper acquisition, but this is someone who played for DJ Smith, so he was probably targeted for acquisition. It's Ottawa's 10th pick in the draft, they can afford to overpay a little.
