Philadelphia Flyers‘ 8th year center Patrick Brown(38) signed a two-year one-way deal with Vegas Golden Knights after participating in their taxi squad for most of 2020/2021, while serving as captain of affiliate Henderson Silver Knights, but participating in only 9 AHL games with booming numbers.
He was scooped off waivers and has played a pair of NHL starts with his new team.
Will be interesting to see what happens if the former Boston College Eagles‘ senior captain gets released, but chances are decent on his contract could report to Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
The 5’11” 214 lbs. forward needs to step it up to stay, no doubt.
He actually did and spent all of his time with the big club, skating 87 games before a trade sent him up to Ottawa Senators, where his fortunes seemed to change slightly for the better.
In 18 games, he had 2 goals and 3 assists with a +4 rating on a non-playoff team.
Boston Bruins step in on opening day of free agency and welcome him back to his college home for a 2-year deal worth a tidy $800,000 AAV.
