Logan Brown

Logan Brown collected eight points in 23 games with the Senators last year, but also had 28 points in 25 outings with AHL Belleville. The 11th overall pick from 2016, Brown looks ready to make a full-time jump to the NHL given his success in the minors. There's not a lot of scoring talent to go around in Ottawa, so there's a chance Brown could see top-line usage and some power-play time. He had three of his eight points last year with the man advantage. The 22-year-old center could challenge for 25 to 30 points if he receives favorable deployment in 2020-21, so he's worth a late-round pick in deeper formats, but don't expect him to add much outside of the scoring categories.

Brown will be competing with Drake Batherson for one of the final spots in the Senators' starting lineup during training camp. If the 2016 first-round pick wins the job, he'll be a candidate to receive top-six minutes in 2019-20, which makes him worth keeping an eye on this summer. Brown didn't register a point while posting a minus-2 rating in two games with the big club last season, but he was pretty productive in the minors, racking up 14 goals and 42 points while registering a plus-19 mark in 56 contests with AHL Belleville.

Brown -- who was Ottawa's first-round (11th overall) pick from 2016 -- is finally eligible to play in the AHL and that's where he's likely to spend most of the upcoming season. He notched 48 points in 32 games in his final year of junior and his size makes him an intriguing prospect. The Senators can afford to be patient with him and they're likely to keep him in Belleville to afford him the opportunity to adjust to professional hockey before bringing him up to the big club. Brown is a great option to consider in dynasty leagues, but in season-long formats, he's probably a year or two away from relevancy.

Standing at 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, Brown has the frame to succeed as a young player in the NHL. The center dominated the OHL in two seasons, averaging over a point per game and lighting up the box score in 2015-16 with 21 goals and 53 assists in 59 contests. The North Carolina native was selected by the Sens with the 11th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, joining a roster full of centers, including cemented top-six guys in Kyle Turris and Derick Brassard. That’s not to discount Brown, though, who can showcase the past-first mentality and eye for the twine in Ottawa’s training camp. However, it’s more realistic to expect a healthy development regime before hopping onto the 23-man roster, as he may not be fully prepared for the physicality of the big leagues despite his large frame. Brown still has excellent upside as a two-way center, leading to a sneaky target in dynasty formats that will look to pay off sooner rather than later.
