Brown was known for his work ethic and toughness he brought to the lineup, something that Abram is trying to replicate as he continues to progress through the Golden Knights pipeline."

The Flames might have done some homework on this one. Besides Wiebe playing at UND, great-uncle Keith Brown was a former teammate of Dave Lowry and Wranglers assistant coach Joe Cirella. He also played under Darryl Sutter. You have to think they got some inside scoop on the kid.
