But he's not getting drafted just because his coach coached the Manning brothers...
Also reminds me of Cam Fowler. I have warmed up to him a bit. Another thing to consider is he doesn't turn 18 until after draft night.

Personally he doesn't seem to have projectable skills to consistently impact the game offensively. Nearly all of his offense comes from big end-to-end rushes that just aren't common in the NHL. I don't see plus passing, vision or O-zone instincts. His shot seems good enough and he can certainly skate. With his size and skating he does pretty well defensively.
At the next level, I see him as a 2nd/3rd pairing tweener, defensive defenseman that scores a highlight reel goal every once in a while but isn't consistently tilting the ice the way a top pairing D should. That's a fine player, just not at 6 OA. If we had a second first in the 15-20 range I'd be really happy with Broberg, but I don't like him as much as I liked Liljegren for example who I think was a similar player.

I don't think that's near enough to trade up any higher than like 20, and even that's a stretch IMO.

If the wings take Broberg over Byram there has to be a video tape of him beating a woman or something crazy like that to have happened.

I know it doesn't excuse Holland's foibles, but my god, is there a worse GM in professional sports than Gettelman?
I mean, Chiarelli's a leader in the clubhouse for that too... but Gettelman has systematically destroyed the Giants. And my god, they're going to waste a HoF RB's career away in the process.

I thought there was talk that NYR was Fox's main choice anyway. I'm sort of surprised Carolina got anything for him.

It would have to have been #35 to top #37 that NYR traded, + a conditional 2nd that we'd keep once he signed with NYR July 1st.

Yzerman being here will lure more FA's imo. I would have at least kicked tires on a deal...

Just read the Fox story on TSN. I didn't know he was originally a 3rd rounder for Calgary. I wonder what other prospects the Flames have lying around.

When?
In this graphic he didn’t even have Broberg as who impressed him most for Team Sweden:

Him wanting to go to NY is the second worst kept secret after the captain coming home. He was going to go UFA in August and sign with a NY team. Kinda similar to the Trouba sitch, eh? Only the Rangers had the nads to go get the guy.

What are your thoughts on Vlasic?
He might be available in rounds 2-4 now, but not sure I’m super interested anymore.

He was already high on him, so he is just consolidating that. Broberg was just named the best d-man in the tournament. I think if we pick ceiling he is in the conversation.
I am a little worried about what he would bring for 82 games still sometimes. But when the chips are down in the playoffs I think this dude is going to be a stud.
Poor man's version of Seth Jones for me.

He didn't want to come here, I read a story 2 years ago I believe that said he always wanted to play with the NYR. It's why he didn't sign with either CGY or CAR. So in this case asking really didn't matter much.
I would consider him in the late 2nd, but I am not sure I would want to take him as our first defensemen of the draft if that makes any sense. He does a lot of good things but I have a hard time seeing him finding the offensive light switch at this point. The same could be said, however, for most of the defensemen expected to go outside of the first. Also, has he gotten much better over the course of the season? I was expecting a bigger developmental leap this year.

He can like him, but it's a discussion on our 2nd pick. Not anywhere near our 6th overall.
Low 1st is proably where he goes.
