Even then the only person who I see as really high on Brown...like Pierre Maguire loving Phaneuf level of hype is Craig Button. It's as out of line as the McKeens guy putting McLeod 3rd on their list.

What I love about this iteration of Flames management is that they're steel traps and only let Conroy off the leash when they feel comfortable they're not giving too much away.
While I do think that "Brown is their guy" is pure speculation, based on nothing, I do appreciate hearing from those that view these prospects on a regular basis.
Curious as to whether truedetective watched the U18s? I thought Brown was a really dynamic player, someone definitely noticeable, with a seemingly high motor. Was that not the case in the OHL?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
