Prospect Info: 2019 1st Round Pick: Philip Broberg Part 3

[CycloneSweep]

Wasn't able to watch, great to hear he played super well. Looking at the stats, they had a dpair play a decent amount more than Brobergs pair.
Did that pair PK lots or were they relied upon a lot 5v5?

Good to see Broberg with confidence and PP time. Hope he keeps it up.

Lol next Saturday is October 26th?

I meant September 26th.
on me.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Did that pair PK lots

Yes. And Burström also plays in the second PP

 

[Zaddy]

Great shift for Broberg just now, probably his best at even strength so far. Held the point well, made a nice stretch pass, and finished the shift walking into a big slapshot.

Leksands IF with the comeback, it's headed into overtime. Looking forward to seeing Broberg in the 3-on-3.

Broberg sets up a 2-on-1 in the opening seconds. Then makes a stretch pass for a breakaway.

What a joke. I stopped watching with 5-6 minutes left of the game and of course all hell breaks loose after that and I miss the action

 

[Zaddy]

Anyway, from what I did see that was an encouraging game from Broberg. Definitely made some good passes throughout the game and he looked in control on the PP. If he can keep this up over the course of the season I will change my tune on him.

 

[Aerchon]

Even with OT his time on ice seems top 4?

Compared to last year I would have been happy with just the increase in ice time/role.

That's a huge start for him. Hopefully he can keep on trucking. First "real" on ice performance since we have drafted him that imo even indicates this kid may be more than a bottom pairing guy somewhere down the road.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

This was his team's regular season debut? Loving all of the reports, kid looks like he is poised to have a very good season.

 

[Consultant]

Can’t ask for a better season debut. All arrows are up for Broberg. He seems to have taken a huge step over this past year. Great move for oilers to bring him over when they had the chance. Oilers may wish they have him back come December/ January.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

BROBEANS!

 

[Da McBomb]

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

He’s almost half way there!

 

[oobga]

Klef is so getting traded

 

[gordonhught]

Klef is so getting traded

Maybe next off season.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Is there anyway I can do a full rewatch of Brobergs game today?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Holy Hell. I just watched the Highlights of the game and Broberg does look like he's 6'5... and he's only 19 lol

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Klef is so getting traded

Or Nurse. That said it's premature to deal either just to fit Broberg in.

Just joking about the typical Oilers management ways. See a young guy coming up. Trade the vet ahead of him.

 

[LaGu]

... hrrm.

Anyone like to pm me a good link/method to watch? onho**ey is blocked in my country

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I honestly think he's a tier above Bouchard right now.

I think Broberg has top pair potential. Bouch has 2nd pair potential while running a powerplay.

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

Broberg is gonna be a stud.
Along the same lines makar and Hughes.

 

[CupofOil]

I really like the way Broberg has been handled.
The SHL is perfect for his development, playing him in a defensive role last season to work on his defensive game then him getting the bump up the lineup this season in a more offensive role and you see the confidence starting to grow. Bringing him over to Training Camp to get a taste of playing on North American ice with NHLers was also a smart move which I don't doubt prepared for him a strong start in the SHL.

I was also one of those people who was against the pick and I still wish they had a high end forward in the system but his development is clearly on the right track.

There is literally nothing to suggest Broberg is better than or will even be in the same ballpark of any of the names listed above.

I hope to heck I'm wrong about this pick but let's hold off the extremely premature revisionist history that would suggest what the posters above are suggesting.

If Broberg becomes better than Klefbom and /or Nurse, which is not likely with his development to date, Holland will certainly be considered a Swedish defenseman whisperer.

I feel like last season he only focused on his defensive game and this year he's getting an opportunity to refine his offensive game, which is a huge plus

If we are smart, we can get a high end forward in the system this year in Jarvis or Quinn or even Holloway and Zary.

Huh? How is it not likely with his development?? His development is on the right path, just like how Klefbom and Nurse were. Hell, it could be even better than their development because he's doing well in a pro league at age 19.

What the heck are you talking about? I always am dumfounded at your biased posts.

Plus, you aren't even following the player pretty much at all so you shouldn't have a say in his development
