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.

They better look at a forward in the 2nd round

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

Waiting two years while he still develops isn't so bad.

I see him being an effective tank after 3 years that includes 1 year to spend in the AHL in order to adapt to the NA game unless he pops off once he comes to NA.

Nonetheless, a beast of a player.

Jesus... burn a 2nd for that

Realistically you are probably waiting two years regardless so why not

Gonna be interesting to see who Philly selects at #14.

I'm sure they will be. Beecher, Grewe, Keppen to name a few might be viable options.

Since Broberg played pro hockey in Sweden he cannot play in the CHL

Boqvist also played pro hockey in 2017-18 and yet was allowed to play in London. Is it because of a majority of his games were played with AIK?

Sooo you guys moving a defenseman? I have a slightly used Pavel Zacha I could interest you in.

Puljujarvi for Wood.

We have a slightly used Kris Russell to offer up.

Meh. I'd prefer one of those others.

#Oilers Twitter reacts to team drafting Philip Broberg Lots of negative reaction. But remember how over the moon everyone was when we took Yakupov and Puljujarvi? So I don't trust draft day mood of fans.

I believe that’s it so if I were to guess he will stick in Sweden this year then go to the Condors afterwards

(frank) I really wanted Zegras at 8 didn't think he would still be on the board tbh

Puljujarvi for Wood.
- MaximumBone

That might be workable. We are loaded at left shot LW, we have players on their off wing on the right side.

Now we know why Holland wanted to be GM again. Broberg

I get the feeling one will be moved but not for Zacha

And we want speed and a steady asset that can contribute right away. As sad as it is, he's immediately our best or 2nd best natural winger

Now we know why Holland wanted to be GM again. Broberg
