We've done reasonably well with Swedish Dmen and man can he skate. I just have some concerns about his offense.
- MaximumBone

I dont think his game is scoring points... its more about defending and moving the puck up the ice to guys like Drai and McDavid.

Since Cozens was off the board and if there wasn't a trade down available, then I'm not stressing. At least they picked a guy with elite skating.
- MaximumBone

I think Zegras, Boldy and Broberg are all same tier... it wasnt a reach like the Wings

The kid has been set up for failure regardless how he does.

Gets leaked the Oilers want him, fans scream no, Oilers still take him.

It's not bad to stock up on dmen... look how hard it is to trade for them.
- Reveen.

Exactly!

Caulfield to the Nucks... calling it now

Meh... most fans have no idea who this kid is.

June birthday, 6'3 Dman with elite skating and strong positioning. Passes pretty good (not elite) and has a limited shooting arsenal.

Which is a fine 2nd pairing d-man...

I trust Yzerman. But this is beyond comprehension as it currently stands. We will see I guess. Really wanted Zegras.

Nurse / Bouchard
Klefbom / Larsson
Broberg / Bear
Jones

not terrible

That's a similar scouting report to Nurse and he's rounding into great form lately. Visually looks like a faster skater than Nurse was and has a comparably non-elite offensive toolkit.

I don’t think he will even be that tbh but hey if I’m wrong as I said I’ll eat my words

The Russian!

Samorukov would be ahead on the depth chart

Glad that a team early on didn't stray away due to the Russian factor. Great pick for Vancouver.

forgot about him... it wasn't showing how high guys were... it was a listing of LD / RD

Laggeson could also be a player too

He will be a good pick if you can wait the two years.

The issue isn’t with Broberg himself but given our needs I would have preferred to roll the dice on a forward.....well I guess we can cue up the trade Klef or Nurse chatter now

A trade!

Yotes are going Caulfield

I'm a fan of stocking the D corps, but if picking a Dman was the plan I would've preferred a trade down to the late teens and grabbed Heinola or Harley.
