TORONTO — Sporting a nifty 20-goal season on his resume, Connor Brown could be rewarded with fourth-line duty on the 2017-18 Maple Leafs. That possibility isn’t keeping Brown awake at night as the dog days of training camp firmly settle in. “I don’t think I will find a permanent spot (on any line),” Brown said following practice Thursday at the MasterCard Centre. Leafs coach Mike Babcock knows what he has in Brown and recognizes the value of his versatility. The best bet could be that Brown eventually takes the spot of Leo Komarov on a line with Nazem Kadri and Marleau.
