Brown occasionally breaks a defender’s ankles before barrelling towards the net. From there, he’s a projectable NHL shooter with a booming one-timer and two-touch finishing ability. Occasionally deception to keep passing lanes open, and he recognizes high-danger opportunities when given a bit of space. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
