A month ago I would have thought 2.9m would have been too high a price, now after Pageau and other signing, Brown must licking his lips thinking 3.3m is too low. Interesting too see what the outcome is.

Couldn't Brown be a good bargaining chip for a trade? We have Kapanen who is ready to play, Bracco who can probably replace an injury, and Hyman can play on the right wing as well.

If you trade Brown now you will regret that in little time....the guy was always told you are too small you can't blablabla and he has outperform expectations at every level, just scored 20 goals as a rookie, 17 of those at even strength, playing mostly on a third line...why everybody talks of Kapanen like he is future McDavid?, he has potential but he himself said it doesn't see himself on top six on this team yet.
Brown is a two way forward can play PP,PK, 3rd line and move up lineup if needed and is 23 yrs old and praised by his work ethic , what else do you want?. If Komarov goes you want Brown and Hyman on your roster.
5yr at 3.7M is my guess, and if he keeps improving the contract could end up being a steal, if cap rises even more.
