Beating a dead horse, but Broberg at the time he was drafted, where he was drafted, who was left on the board, and based off organizational need was a reach.
Not an absolutely terrible pick but absolutely a reach and most on these boards agreed until he actually got drafted by us.
Hopefully Lavoie, who fits our needs more, does turn out because we need skilled forwards far more than left shooting defense.
However his skating is a concern. Imo, from limited viewing, far worse than Draisaitl.
Draisaitl skating was not a real concern from things I saw and read. His skating issues were fabricated by the pro Bennett group who didn't understand how Draisaitl preferred to slow the pace down than push it.
To adapt to the nhl Draisaitl improved his skating so he could push the play.
Lavoie I think is a good step behind where Drai was when drafted and two at least from where he is now.
