6th Round #151 overall - Christopher Brown

[26CornerBlitz]

Black Book

 

Chris posted outstanding numbers this season on a dominant line at Cranbrook Kingswood. He displays good skill and skating ability and can both create and finish scoring opportunities. The biggest question is whether or not he can do this on a bigger stage. He will get the opportunity to do this as he is slated to join Boston College in September 2015 and in the mean time has his rights held by the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL.

Smart idea to use a pick or two on some high schoolers, so you can stash their rights for a while.

...might as well take a flyer on a high schooler (or two).

I hope he's loyal

"There is no shortage of family lineage when discussing the hockey pedigree of Boston College recruit Christopher Brown of the Cranbrook School.

 

The Pontiac, Mich. native is the son of Doug Brown who had 420 points in nearly 1,000 career NHL games, mostly with the Detroit Red Wings. Doug was also an All-Hockey East and All-American performer at BC. His brother Patrick was the captain of the 2013-14 Eagles and recently signed a pro contract with the Carolina Hurricanes organization. His uncle is BC associate head coach Greg Brown, a former Eagle himself.

 

The youngest Brown with NHL hopes has put up gaudy offensive numbers against Michigan high school competition, but next year will get his first real test in the USHL with the Green Bay Gamblers. If he has anywhere near the "it factor" of his brother Patrick or the ability to score at the NHL level like his father, he will make an NHL team very happy it selected him in the 2014 NHL Draft on Saturday."
