Thing with this is you are no passing up highly skilled in favour of big - you are taking a guy who is big AND Highly skilled.

OHL:

Brown: GP: 59 G: 21 PTS: 74 PPG: 1.25
Nylander: GP: 57 G: 28 PTS: 75 PPG: 1.32

U18:

Brown: GP: 7 G: 3 PTS: 12 PPG: 1.7
Nylander: GP: 7 G: 3 PTS: 11 PPG: 1.57

I am no scout - and haven't watched these guys play a ton but from a pure statistics perspective they are pretty close. It's not like Brown is some under PPG grinder with no skill.

In the end Nylander is probably the better offensive gamebreaker but Brown is no slouch either.
