Quote:11. Ottawa Senators (from New Jersey Devils) - Logan Brown, C, Windsor (OHL)
NHL Central Scouting final North American ranking: 7
2015-16: 59 games, 21-53-74
A playmaking center with excellent size (6-6, 220) and presence down the middle. He had 29 points on the power play and was very effective on faceoffs, winning 53.0 percent. Brown had three goals and 12 points in seven games to help the United States win the bronze medal at the 2016 IIHF World Under-18 Championship.
NHL.com quick hit: A big center the Senators coveted enough to trade up one slot with the New Jersey Devils. He possesses great hands and is very difficult to contain 1-on-1. With further development, one day he could become the No. 1 center on the roster.
Dorion seemed to be pretty confident about trading a 3rd rounder to move up just one spot as his first ever trade as GM. I personally like the pick, even thought I thought he would go a bit earlier, maybe to the Canadiens. Some are comparing him to Joe Thornton, hopefully he comes to his own. It's hard to find a 6'6 player, let alone a center playmaker and I am excited to see what Brown and Colin White are going to become.
Any thoughts on what the Senators might do on Day 2?
