Brown obviously had no place on the team anymore, and deep down I'm sure he wanted to play somewhere where he wasn't just a 4th liner, but still this must be tough for him. Toronto kid who got picked in the 6th round and wasn't really expected to make the NHL. Worked his butt off to be come a NHLer for the team he rooted for growing up. He lived his childhood dream. I wish him the best of luck in Ottawa.
Zaitsev I don't care about in any possible way.
