So yes, Dingman was probably considered the better prospect actually. Dingman was not as tall as Brown though. I saw both play too, Dingman was considered to be a beast coming up, a tank PF who could score. Brown is more a playmaker.

You're comparing a
17 year old Draft year Brown who finished
0.109 PPG behind his team's leading scorer.
to an
18 year old Draft+1 Dingman who finishe
d 0.712 PPG behind his team's leading scorer.
You're also ignoring the difference 22 years can make in a franchise' developmental system.
This is more ridiculous than comparing Sens prospect Colin White to Bill Arnold.

So, lets compile a list of 6'6 or taller forwards who have panned out to be anything decent in the NHL. Hmmm, I can't find anything...

That kind of classification ignores that 6'6" or taller people represent a vast minority, and hockey is not an easily accessible sport as it is. The logic is as extreme as saying "lets compile a list of forwards with genetic roots in Costa RIca who have panned out to be anything decent in the NHL. Hmmm, I can't find anything..."
