Leafs get fourth round pick from Oilers for Mike Brown. One puncher had to go and that's a good return. Probably makes Orr/McLaren regulars.

To begin I'd like to say that of our three face punchers (Brown, Orr, McLaren) Mike Brown was my favorite. I thought he was the best skater of the three and I liked his moustache and he's not a terrible human being like Tyler Bozak.
Mike Brown was an excellent ambassador for Movember and seemed to be a decent fourth liner. While writing this I pulled up his usage chart:
Which paints a pretty poor picture of him actually. In the end he wasn't seeing much ice time in Toronto and I'm happy we got a conditional pick for him.
Best of luck in Edmonton, Mike.
