The gritty right winger wants to bring speed, penalty killing skills and help the team be better defensively. He also hoped the story of reuniting him with his former Erie Otters linemate Connor McDavid would have been icing on the cake.
With his former Erie coach Kris Knoblauch now in full control of the Oilers, it was noted by Frank Seravalli as he was a guest on the OilersNation podcast that Connor Brown was pissed that he was made a healthy scratch for their game against the New Jersey Devils. According to Seravalli, Brown walked off the ice at practice noticeably angered after a discussion with coach Knoblauch. Now, Oilers fans are thinking Brown isn't acting much like the veteran team player he was expected to be.
