If Brown is the guy BJ's want, I don't think there's a way to make it work with Calgary because there is the possibility that the Canucks take Brown. Canucks are probably looking for a centre too and if Dubois is gone, Brown could be their guy. BJ can't risk making a deal and NOT getting the guy they want at 6.

Unless the trade happens after the picks are made and Brown is guaranteed for the 6 spot. I know that happens in other sports, but I can't remember that ever happening at an NHL draft, where a player was selected, put on the jersey and then was subsequently traded on the floor.
