Logan Brown

Son of Former Ottawa 67s coach Jeff Brown. Logan made it apparent almost right away that he was not going to play for the Ice Dogs. After being moved to Windsor, Brown would play 3.5 seasons with the Spits which also included a memorial Cup Championship. At the deadline of his 19 year old season he was moved the the Kitchener Rangers were he would finish his OHL career.

in 182 career OHL games Brown would score 74 goals and add 131 assists to finish with 205 career points. He would add another 37 points in 31 playoff games and lead the OHL in playoff assists in the 2018 playoffs. In the memorial cup for Windsor he would pick up 5 points in 4 games.

Compensatory Draft Pick

With the 7th overall selection in the 2015 OHL priority selection the Niagara Icedogs selected Ben Jones from the Toronto Marlboros program.He only picked up 9 points in his rookie season but in his NHL draft year he saw that shoot up to 50 points from 13 goals and 37 assists. In his 18 year old season he saw another jump as he picked up 30 games and 49 assists. With the Icedogs primed the make a run at the Eastern Conference crown we could be looking at another jump in the statistical producton of Ben Jones. He was a 7th round draft pick of the Las Vegas Golden Knights in 2017. He is currently 18th in career goals (while in Niagara) and 13th in career points (While in Niagara).

Trade Compensation

In return for the rights to Logan Brown the Icedogs picked up 3 2nds 2 3rds and a 14th round draft pick. Of the 6 draft picks recieved only one of them was used by the Icedogs. That would be the 2016 2nd belonging to Guelph. With that pick the Icedogs selected Cal Davis.

Cal Davis would play 25 games for the Icedogs before being sent to the Fronts for a 5th round pick in 2019. That 5th round pick was recently used along with Daniel Singer to acquire Ivan Lodnia from the Erie Otters. It should be noted that the pick was conditional so there is a possibility it improves that the Icedogs keep that 5th round selection.

Windsors 2nd in 2017 was used by Sarnia, Guelphs 2nd in 2018 was used by Peterborough. Kitcheners 3rd in 2016 was used by Barrie while the 2018 3rd was used by Oshawa. Finally the 14th round pick in 2017 was used by North Bay.

I was able to trade the 2017 2nd to the Bulldogs as part of the Stephen Harper trade. The 2018 2nd from Guelph was sent to Plymouth as part of the package to acquire Nedelkovic and Wesley. The 2018 3rd was sent to Guelph for Tyler Boston. Boston would suit up in 27 regular season games for the Icedogs and picked up 5 points. He would suit up in another 17 playoff games that year before calling it a career. The 2017 14th round pick was sent along with a 2018 13th round pick to Guelph for a 14th and 15th round selecton in 2016. Those picks were used for Michael Hill who played for Orangeville last year in the OJHL and Riley Girard who played for Pickering also in the OJHL.

Im sure Windsor would do this trade over again. They may not have had the regular season or playoff success they may have hoped for as his time in Windsor coincided with some loaded Western Conference teams. Still they won the Memorial Cup with his help and were able to move him for a 2017 1st round pick in Grayson Ladd and 4 draft picks. As for the Icedogs. They used most of those picks to build their Eastern Conference championship team in 2016. Ben Jones is also a key cog in what could be another Eastern Conference title winning team this upcoming season.
