Well I don't think the teams put much stock into ISS, CSS, Redline, etc rankings. The only ranking that they trust and have faith in is their own. I think all the teams are going to realize that Brown is a wildcard that could go crazy high because of his size, skill, skating combo and the fact he plays that valuable centre position.
So if you're a team that has Brown solidly in your top 6 and think he's a guy that should be real high on most teams lists then I think you'd be surprised if he's there at 9 or 10. Anyways that was my thought process when I made that comment.
I think we're going to hear the familiar phrase, "we were surprised he was there, we had him higher on our rankings" quite a bit this draft in the 4-20 range. Some teams in the 7-10 range are going to get guys they had top 5-6. Some teams in the teens are going to get guys they had top 10.
