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...

Dingman played on a line with Marty Murray and Darren Ritchie. Neither made an impact in the NHL due to size but in the WHL Murray was an offensive wizard and Ritchie was also very skilled. Dingman only played in the NHL because he would fight, and he played in the clutch & grab era, so his lack of foot speed wasn't so easily exploited.
