Lots of talk about what Vancouver will do. Benning made it clear that he sees first line F in Dubois and Tkachuk. However he does not see any of the D being #1 types so he will take the top line F over a #2 D.
So unless Benning values Brown over Dubois or Tkachuk, we will be choosing between Nylander/Brown and one of the 3 D. Say what you will about Benning but he's been a good scout. I too would want a top line F over a #2 D and if Browns our guy, I'm down with that.

Interesting comment from HF board debating Craig Button's list:

hbk: "I attended u18s. Brown was a dominant force. He was jaw dropping good. Play making 6'6" still growing C that when he pulls a power move cuts through opposing D like a hot knife through butter. Teams didn't have an answer for him. Slash, cheap shots, take a penalty. Only recipe opposing teams were offering.
I'm all in for Brown at 7 for AZ. Without hesitation."
Brown is definitely in the conversation.
