caron14 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 BOS, BUF, EDM, NJD, NYR, PHI, TOR, VAN are amongst teams with high levels of interest in Brown. #TradeCentre #TSN So would you take him... do you believe it can be done?

aylbert Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't think we'd be the high bidder. To be perfectly honest, I don't see a big move for us. Maybe a depth guy; but we already did that with Poni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodeur14301991 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Perhaps Lou can acquire Brown and Bernier somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 brown have around 3 million cap hit.... AWESome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well the Kings got their offense with Carter so now they need defense. I honestly wouldn't mind giving up Urbom, Burlon, Tao, or any higher draft pick for Brown. He would be a great guy to have. He also has two more seasons at a 3.175 cap hit which is VERY manageable. He is only 27 and gets 20-30 goals a year and 50-60 points. I would definitely be in favor of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseydevils0324 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I'd imagine if we do jump on this it would cost us a guy like Merrill and possibly Josefson. I am really looking forward to what Merrill and Larsson could both bring to the table down the road, but I guess if we wanna win now, Brown is a solid choice... better than Hemsky at least. Brown would provide a nice balance between producer and grinder. Ponikarovsky, Zubrus, Clarkson, and Brown are ideal grinders and crashers to go into postseason with.

NJDevils1214 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Given what happened with Kovy, would LA even consider a trade with NJ if they wern't giving some astronomically good deal in LA's favor? I don't think LA would do any trade for Brown with NJ unless Parise was involved just for the sake of getting him to drink the LA area coolaid.

aylbert Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just don't get selling non-rentals in a position that you need when you're a buyer. It's seems counter-productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevsftw Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Brown would be an excellent addition to our squad. Unfortunately I can't see this happening.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't think LA needs anything we would have to offer outside of Parise or Tedenby +. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'd be very suprised if we get Brown. LA isn't selling away, they want a good return that isn't just picks/prospects. Plus the price tag will be to big. I'd rather have Lou throw assets at a quality d man that would upgrade the backend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just don't get selling non-rentals in a position that you need when you're a buyer. It's seems counter-productive. If I was a Kings fan I would be screaming for Lombardi's head... I have no idea what he is doing over there... They should have kept Jack Johnson. They terribly need scoring. Yeah, Carter and Richards together will help but they have a HUGE HUGE asset in Jonathan Bernier since Quick is their started. Bernier should be traded with a pick for a goal scorer... THAT is how they make their team better. Now they lost a very solid D-man and are looking to trade one of the most reliable players in the league who has a very manageable cap hit. Makes no sense.

jamieleewv Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is the best chance we have at winning the cup in a long time. Marty is hot this year and with zach still here i honestly believe we should do whatever it takes before the deadline to improve the side. Sure teddy has potential to be good in the future but i honestly believe we have the best chance at the cup this year than we will in the next few years. So on that basis i would happily trade teddy + say a tao or a fayne for brown. Brown is a top player and he would improve our production massively going into the playoffs.

Chuck the Duck Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I can't see LA trading this guy away unless they are getting a first or second line scorer in return. He is the type of guy that usually excels in the playoffs, and every team needs those gritty forward to go to the net and score goals to have a long post-season run. I would love to add him to the team, but not the expense of Merrill or Josefson. I still think, if we do a deal, it will be for a depth defenseman (a la Richard Smehlik) at the deadline.

Triumph Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't see where NJ has the assets to acquire Dustin Brown. I mean, we're talking Henrique/Greene at least for him, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justdo3043 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 would love to get him but what is the asking price....if it is henrique and greene no way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieleewv Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Merrill and Clarkson maybe? No way would lou give up clarky especially with the season he is having. Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Merrill and Clarkson maybe? I wouldn't trade Merrill and Clarkson for him. I don't think a grinder with scoring touch is that great of a need to make this type of deal. In fact, Clarkson really is the same type of player with less skill right now (whether he can repeat his performance from this season in the future is another story). Plus, this team needs yound stud d-men for the future, and Merrill/Larsson should be the backbone of this defense in the next few years. I wouldn't trade this kid away unless it was part of a major deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 LA would need a established roster player who is productive and we don't have any to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 food for thought: greene/henrique/4th for brown/martinez it's a gamble of a deal - it comes down to whether you think henrique could be a 30/70 guy in this league or not.

njdevsftw Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have a good feeling about Henrique.. I'd rather not see him traded. Even for this years playoff run alone there's no guarantee Brown would deliver anything more then Henrique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) LA doesn't need centers now. They have Carter, Kopitar, Richards, and Stoll and I don't see why they'd need defense with Voynov moving up (but apparently, according to someone on HF who heard Dreger on a radio show they are asking for a young d-man for some reason). Not much we have to offer. Maybe Urbom, Merrill, or Tao + Tedenby but is that worth it? Probably not even enough Edited February 24, 2012 by Jerzey Devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 LA would need a established roster player who is productive and we don't have any to spare. LA would need Dustin Brown... so, they keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't think, given all the smoke around this deal, that LA can keep Dustin Brown. They want him out as Captain and they're not going to Elias him. Henrique still projects as a left wing to me - that's where LA would be using him. They would deal off Dustin Penner somewhere.
