Could mean that philosophically the Leafs could want to pair a huge centre in Brown with an average to below averaged sized one in Willy Nylander. It's hard to win in this league without having some size at top two line centre position.

I think Brown could go surprisingly high but as I said I think it'll be to a team with mediocre centre depth who really covets and needs size and skill at centre. The Flames aren't small at centre and already possess strong depth at that position and thus I don't think they'd covet him as much as another team might.
