Yeah, I'm sure we will hope for more out of a 6th overall pick, but Colborne doesn't get the credit he deserves around here IMO, and if we can get a player that puts up about 20 goals and roughly 50~ points in his third year as an NHLer I don't think we can complain too loudly.

Plus bigger guys typically take longer because they have to figure out how to use themselves properly at the NHL level and that takes time.
Brown has more higher end potential because he's both bigger, faster, and has a bit more talent overall. If he turned out to be only Colborne 2.0, that would be a bit disappointing, but it's not like Colborne is terrible. He's a quality middle six player.
