But Brown isn't just big and strong. He has an undeniable skill set.

He's skilled no doubt (his dad was a solid offensive defenseman) but he's not a strong big man and while he "got it" for the back half of a season is this a guy that's going to be able to maintain it or will he be another of these frustrating big guys that can't maintain consistency? I'm confident that the Flames scouts have done their homework and if he's the pick I will be on board but would prefer they trade down a few spots if possible to maximize value.
