not sure, but it probably isn't too far-fetched to say he has some interest in those two players specifically if he is willing to fly to Sweden to watch them.

They go to u18s every year no matter where it is. Last chance to see basically half of the first round of players.

Beauty. Isn't Broberg the next Edler? Wasn't Edler a 3rd round pick
- manvanfan


I feel like the Swedish dmen are more realistically projected to top out as 2nd pairing dmen, that's fine for drafting at 40th overall like Woo, but not #10.


If we draft one, I hope I'm wrong.

If they draft Broberg, I’m pulling a minivan and banning myself from here for the entire off-season

He’s a guy I’d be OK taking 40th, not 10th

We haven’t (frank)ed up since Judd Took over...I’m still optimistic

Do you think Boldy will be there at 10? I don't

scored two goals in their OT loss.

decent hands and seems to like taking too the puck to the net, I'll try to find ore of him. I just don't like judging prospects based on highlight videos, I prefer more shift to shift type of videos. Which are hard to find for prospects who don't play in the WJHC/U18's or playoff NCAA/CHL games

Drafting for need = Juolevi
Drafting bpa = boeser and Elias

Do you really not think the second best Dman won't be better than the 9 th ranked forward

It's like what you say about the Canucks D, being of the best on a below average group doesn't make you anything special.


The 2nd best dman would be ranked higher if there actually was a clear cut one

It’s a forward heavy draft. No reason to force your pick based on need. They desperately need skill more than anything else. (frank) position. Draft the most skilled player available

Just goals. It looks like he's got a real good shot and a quick release. Skates well. Is listed 6'1" 170 lbs but looks to use his body like a 190 lb player.

He's a rookie and was close to a ppg and plus 19 in regular season.

The front of the net is where goals are scored. Something I like about Boldy too, isn't afraid to take the puck to the slot.

Truthfully what I have seen with most of the D makes me wonder what all the complaining is about. Is there a Dahlin or Hughes no but there are some very good
Dmen.

I was watching Vlasic and thought I would absolutely like him. I see him turning out to be exactly like his cousin

thanks, definitely an intriguing prospect. Fits the "lanky with room to physically develop" type that I prefer as well

I have liked Vlasic in this tournament too. Judd Caulfield and John Beecher look like good 2nd/3rd rounders that will play bottom 6 NHL roles. Size and speed but lack offensive skills. Kind of like Adam Lowry type.

It comes down to what our own eyes tell us. I have not been overly impressed with the forward grouping. I seen most of the top names play now and there are some decent players. Like I said before I see 4 or 5 of them being impact NHL players, the rest meh.

It all comes down to opinion.

It's' all subjective, if you prefer the dmen based of off what you've seen then that's perfectly reasonable.

I like them both but it’s tough to get too excited about either when guys like Zegras are slipping to us in mocks. I’m a broken record at this point, but this draft is fun as (frank).

Down a goal , wait 20 seconds behind the net and then ice the puck

@TeamLatvia

Watched the third period Canada are bad.
