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.
If they traded down with the Flames one of Brown or Dubois will be there unless the Habs trade up with Oilers and grab Dubous and the Canucks take Brown. I don't see that happening though.
