I sincerely hope Connor Brown doesn’t search his name on Twitter. I mean, aside from the regular reasons why an NHL player should never do that, Brown has been in the unenviable situation of being the player who is included in every fantasy trade proposed by Leafs fans. It’s easy to see why.
Brown is clearly inferior to Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and Kasperi Kapanen on the right side. He can play left wing, though I don’t think he can play it well; certainly, I don’t think he provides anything over Andreas Johnsson, Zach Hyman, or the late career version of Patrick Marleau.
