5th year, former Boston College Eagles‘ 2-time captain, center Christopher Brown(10) signs a 1-year AHL contract for 2023/2024 to Rochester Americans after posting ECHL career highs 24 goals and 40 assists for 64 points with Jacksonville Icemen.
Originally a Buffalo Sabres‘ 6th round pick in the 2014 draft (#151 overall), he never signed and his 1st deal was with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins as a rookie, so it’s interesting he’s come back around with their affiliate.
He was mostly reassigned and then signed in Florida with good results to start and then a 2nd season split time between on loan to Hershey Bears.
We believe the bet is the 27-year old from Bloomfield Hills, MI and son of former NHL veteran Doug Brown is set to sparking the higher level.
He actually continues as captain down in Florida and cobbles together a 2nd best point total (59), so for 2024/2025, he is easily re-signed to continue in upper state with the Amerks, when needed.
