Quoting: TrueCanuck
Idk how you protect Brown when 7-3-1 allows them to protect:
Batherson, Tierney, Paul, Tkachuk, Connor Brown, Dadonov, White, Chabot, Mete, Josh Brown, and what we goalie they choose.
There's no room for Brown and they haven't been happy with his development this far. He'll likely be exposed and taken.
To meet exposure requirements Tierney likely will be exposed (along with Watson). Also, I see J. Brown being exposed and Zaitsev being protected. Between injury and the pandemic, Logan Brown lost over a year of development. If they weren't still high on him as a prospect they wouldn't have brought him up and played him the last game of the season.
