The tools that Broberg possesses are eye popping. He's already 6'3 and about 200 pounds who skates like the wind. He's quite assertive offensively and has no qualms leading the rush, he can do it because his skating is that impressive. He really did dazzle at the U18 Hnlinka. A potential Hedman type is going to warrant top-2 status if he truly is legit. He definitely has the potential to shoot up the draft board.
A Broberg-Dobson future pairing is dream worthy. I'll be interested to see how Byram develops as I'm a big fan of his.
My main concern about drafting a d-man this year is that it's the year to draft a center in the top-5/10. Cozens is my Dobson for this class, he's my #2 behind Hughes and before Dach. Kakko is an impressive winger who could possibly play center too. Turcotte, Krebs, Suzuki, and maybe Zegras could raise their stock to top-5ish status. If we're picking that high, I want to take from the deepest and most high quality well of talent. A #1C is the most coveted asset, the hit rate in the top-2 are very high.
I wonder where Broberg and Byram would compare to the 2018 class by draft day. Being LHD's also deflates their stock a bit to me as RHD's are more rare. At #2, Broberg better be Hedman and Byram better be Doughty in this center rich crop.
