[Brown said he and Cadillac, the No. 5 pick by Tampa Bay, have kept in touch about their parallel experiences. Will they try to outdo each other?] Nahh, ... We're both in a learning situation this year.

When we put him in contact situation and we ran him through some drills in Tampa Bay, he didn't do so well. The strength isn't there yet. We're not going to put him in until he's in a situation where he doesn't feel like he's handicapped.

I know in our sport, ... you can win a Stanley Cup by doing what we're doing. Tampa Bay just did it.
