Neither would scouts probably. Anybody who has him top 10 probably thinks his upside is higher than Bjugstad's. The fact that there aren't a lot of 6'6 forwards who play top 6 show what a rare commodity Brown could be, it doesn't prove he is incapable of playing there.

How would his size be a detriment? Don't understand that logic. He's very coordinated and agile for a player his size. His size and strength will help with puck protection and faceoffs.
