Dusty spoke with other NHL scouts and they said Broberg was not a top 10 pick. I had not read that.Talk nice about him. )Please enter your email address to reset your password.Because every draft wingers are available. Philip Broberg is a gifted two-way defenseman. Not even a consensus top 15.So many mixed emotions about Broberg. Everyone was thrilled when Columbus went off the board with Dubois and we got him at #4. Drafting Lavoie takes the sting off the Broberg pick, still I would have preferred if they took Boldy then selected a Dman with the 2nd pick.Agreed.

Your sense of self importance is a bit over the top. (I saw this noted in a couple scouting reports not cited above – and it’s probably why he was ranked as low as he was)With Philip Broberg being selected eighth overall at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, we wanted to put together a collection of scouting reports and highlights to give Oilers fans a better idea of what kind of player they’ve brought into the fold. You are remotely qualified to second guess a GM of 20+ years?
One of the reasons why the Oilers didn’t trade down to get Broberg.I like the pick. Next two years are important development.Send him to the CHL for 2 years…. Perhaps us thinking the opportunity existed doesn’t necessarily make it so, but I would like to hear the whole story.3. Philip Broberg is a gifted two-way defenseman. Philip Broberg (born 25 June 2001) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing as a prospect under contract to the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Broberg is a controversial pick that will be analyzed for years.First thing I’d do after drafting each player is make them give their phone, laptop, any internet device to the Oilers IT department and block this website. The comments section of this site is like friggin cancer for self confidence. We’ve had enough pre-draft ranking flops, and Zebras setting up Hughes might have over-inflated his draft ranking.Reach pick or not he’s our guy now. Your negative Nancy schtick is wearing thin pal. A large amount of emphasis on the Hlinka tournament. He could be our Hedman.We also drafted Crosby’s wingman who did not develop into a nhl winger!Unfortunate that Trevor Zegras wasn’t the guy selected at eight.Exactly! Drafting wingers will not necessarily make a huge impact if they are always having to dump and chase to get into the O zone. It didn’t see holland on the phone trying to work something out as they got closer to picking. play on the smaller surface with a team that teaches and gives him TOI. I am just guessing if that’s the idea, this is the first step towards that goal.Why would any NHL team draft/hire anybody that was that fragile in the first place?1. His fluid skating ability allows him to punish over-extension immediately with how quickly he can start plays from his own end. Hughes! Similar? They get the puck to the forwards that shoot and score.Man, the Oilers could have taken Boldy and Lavoie and drafted a Dman next year. Unless you’ve went to watch these kids play quit running them down, The negativity on this page is worse than any other in the league.If it’s true that there’s a correlation between brain size and intelligence, the club has a very bright future.He clearly had a hard target on Broberg and wouldn’t have got his team’s BPA via a trade down.Obviously no guarantees one way or the other – but really have to wonder if holland could have traded down and still got him.Questioning the Oilers draft picks does not equal running a kid out of town. This allows him to read the play early and make the most of any time and space found.
The Oilers have a few D prospects knocking on the door, I don’t understand why a Dman couldn’t have been drafted next year, especially when this draft was forward heavy.Which is why I mentioned he looked dominant vs his pier group. I’m not that fond of him either but I’d like him a hell of a lot more if he was on our team.2. My guess is he made no attempt.Sekera and Russel are on the way out, Nurse will want $8M/8 yrs, that is why we drafted a D manBroberg’s selection on Sportsnet:Correct me if I’m wrong, but JP was consensus 3 pick. 5.5mX5 is what I was thinking. I remember drafting Gagner after inflated seasons playing with Patrick Kane.
If a line can enter the O zone with speed, they will obviously get more offence. One of the biggest Oiler myths out there.
