The scenario is trading down from 6 to 9 because Montreal is hot to trot for Brown. If the Flames have Nylander, Brown, and the two D grouped together as roughly equal, then they can make that deal and still get one of their guys. And considering the needs of Arizona and Buffalo, there's a very good chance the guy left at 9 is Nylander.
