But Brown is a late riser. And he's a big centre. So he's likely to go slightly ahead of where some of the rankings have him because NHL teams covet big, skilled centres to a high degree.
But he's not top 10 on Redline. Button hasn't moved him that high yet either. I'm not convinced he's in the Flames top 6 but you can't rule it out.
Biggest thing is that both Damien Cox and Craig Button seem to believe that some NHL teams have him top 6. That's almost worth more than what the independent scouting services say because their contacts are NHL scouts. |
In buttons post draft mock draft he had Brown going #5 -
