Brown ranks seventh among North American skaters on the NHL's Central Scouting rankings, having jumped up seven spots since the midterm rankings. Brown is also the highest ranking center in North America.
The 18-year-old is coming off his second season with the Spitfires where he finished second in scoring with 74 points.
He is a reliable two-way-center who has an NHL-ready shot and great creativity in the offensive zone. He is sound on both sides of the puck, but despite his towering frame is not overly physical, according to Elite Prospects.
