Interesting to name an off the "board" guy as a GM when the obvious cliche would be to just name to two guys ranked right there on the mainstream draft boards while keeping your interest in somebody like Brown more quiet.
Unless he's trying to stimulate more calls for trade ups if a team in that 6-8 range is looking to move up and the Oilers could still get Brown.

Just looked it up and he apparently in the same interview, he says they've already received 4-5 calls about their pick and they're interested in trading down. I'm guessing by adding Brown into the conversation, he's putting pressure on people drafting a little later that are hoping he might slip to them.
Interesting to note he says he's already seen Tkachuk 10 or 11 times and he would be a really good fit.
