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.

The counter argument is that Nylander played on a weaker team that scored fewer goals.
