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.

Do you have a link to that interview? I'm sure I can track it down eventually.
As for Brown I think the cat is out of the bag with Button starting to promote him as a top 5 pick and no sign of that ending. TSN's director of scouting thinks the guy is a top 5 pick and so TSN Radio EDM and VAN are going to be asking Chia and Benning about him.
I wonder if EDM sees Tkachuk, Dubois, Brown as close enough if they'd be comfortable moving down two spots to still take one of them. Just seems like the potential wingers make so much more sense for the Flames but I guess the same could be said of EDM. The real wildcard is if EDM trades the pick because then all bets are off.
God its not even June yet. LOL.
