Earlier this season, we suggested that J.T. Brown offered at least some degree of value as a trade chip for the Minnesota Wild. Even if you pick up a sixth or seventh round pick, it’s still potentially a return compared to the risk of the waiver wire.
Either way, the decision has been made after being a healthy scratch on multiple occasions and then being that much in the dog-house of Minnesota Wild head coach, Bruce Boudreau that Brown only saw three and a bit minutes ice-time in the over-time loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.
