The current longest-tenured active Nailers player is the speedy center Cam Brown, back for his third season with the team.
Brown, 26, first joined the Nailers in his first pro season back in 2017-18, when he finished No. 4 in team scoring with 17 goals and 36 assists in 55 games. During that season he earned two AHL stints, a 13-game tryout with the Springfield Thunderbirds and a one game callup with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Last season, Brown became more of an AHL regular, splitting his time between Wheeling and Wilkes-Barre. He played 35 games in Wheeling and put up nine goals and 28 assists, then played 30 games in Wilkes-Barre primarily in a fourth-line role, scoring one goal and five assists.
