GDT: "This Is Our Stanley Cup" | NHL 2019 Entry Draft | June 21 | 6:00 PM

[Jepprey]

Pod!

 

[PuckNut]

No opinion on the pick, but people complaining we didn't throw our plans out the window should think back to when Pulju fell into our lap.

Well, I would hope he had a list based on who he would pick no matter what could transpire in the first seven picks before. MPS was one that fell to us by surprise to. I only hope Holland had previously decided Broberg was the better pick, because if not then it would mean he’s inflexible and not adaptable.

 

[780il]

Lol another awful pick

 

[CycloneSweep]

Holland with his Reinhart

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

If he is ever good as Matt Benning id be absolutely shocked.

That's a pretty unreasonable over statement, but it's a bad pick right now

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Wow, surprised the Canucks went with him. He's probably the most overrated player in the draft.

 

[Beerfish]

The draft is always a crap shoot. No one really knows how these kids will pan out. People saying this pick is horrible have no clue. It won't be known for years.

Well duh. The thing is the oilers have to make this judgment now so its okay for us as fans to make thus judgment now.

Nothing wrong with making a judgment now as long as you are accountable for it later on.

 

[CupofOil]

Holland with his Reinhart

Come on. Lets dial back the crazy a bit

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Did this guy just praise Podkolzin for throwing a headbutt?

 

[Smartguy]

Zegras is gonna DESTROY us.

Holland throw out the ****ing scouts.


Also, I wanna see where Broberg was on other teams' lists.

I would think Holland would have been following Det list, which was obviously defense heavy with them taking Seider.

Unfortunately he forgot he joined a new team with a different depth chart

 

[soothsayer]

Holland with his Reinhart

Bob Green.

Weird comparison because Broberg has miles more offensive potential than Nurse ever had. To be fair, we need a guy who can carry the puck from the back end. I see him as more of a poor-man's Klingberg

Why? Because he scored like 9 points in his entire career in Sweden? I love Swedish guys because some of them score like 1 point per year and the draft analysts are always talking about how terrific they are at offence. Broberg is wait-and-see in my books. Hope for the best, if he can translate some offence.

 

[North]

I’m now super excited for the mediocre third liner we trade Jones or Samorukov for

Why would they trade them when Broberg is going to take some time?

 

[Faelko]

Button gushes about Broberg. McKenzie and McGuire avoided joining the discussion.

To be fair, those other 2 dont scout these guys like Button.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No, we need a player that can make outlet passes from the back end and show smart decision making in the offensive zone, two areas Broberg struggles.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Holland with his Reinhart

There's the good ol kneejerk reactions that HFOil is great for.

 

[McDoused]

Normally yes but we have almost zero good forward prospects. I am still not sold on Benson being an impact and pully and yama are suspect as heck.

I would prefer a forward too, just saying you can never have too many dmen.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Interested to see which team takes a shot at Kaliyev.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hopefully Raab didn't hurt himself patting himself on the back after the oilers pick.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Why would they trade them when Broberg is going to take some time?

Because we desperately need forward help and we just biffed our best chance to get some?

 

[North]

Holland with his Reinhart

Come on it’s not quite that bad.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

We need to get a good forward with the 2nd.

 

[Pointteen]

I would think Holland would have been following Det list, which was obviously defense heavy with them taking Seider.

Unfortunately he forgot he joined a new team with a different depth chart

Good point. Broberg is NOT a bad pick. Just not a good pick for us. In my incredibly amateur opinion

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Well, I'm bored now.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Come on. Lets dial back the crazy a bit

Fine. A Reinhart who can skate
