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. 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...
Are you forgetting the MVP from the All Star game this season?

Nick Bjugstad does apply though. 6ft 6in, been a consistent 40 point player for the last 3 seasons.

My concern with Brown though is that it feels like a reach to take him at 6. If we were in the 8-10 range, I'd be all over him. But at 6, just feel like we might be passing on better prospects with a higher ceiling.
