'Mike Robitaille, a former Sabres player and current hockey analyst on Buffalo's Empire Sports Network, said the Sharks were getting “an honest player'' who should be able to contribute 15 to 20 goals a season. Brown won't provide all the offense lost when Sturm was injured, Robitaille said, but he should become a better player in San Jose than if he stayed in Buffalo, where he had hit a wall. “What Curtis needs is to just go to a good hockey club,'' Robitaille said.'
