I saw him do it plenty of times, and attempt it plenty of times, watched quite a bit. He can and has driven wide and cut in for scoring opportunities in junior.
But it's moot anyways, I think we both agree that he isn't currently able to beat guys wide to the net. He gets muscled out. Broberg will have the exact same issue because NHL defencemen simply rarely get turnstiled by other NHL defencemen. It just doesn't happen very often. They're NHL defencemen. And when Broberg does get to the inside, he looks just like Nurse, trying to stuff it home because he lacks those in close puck handling skills.
Brobergs toolset is strikingly similar to Nurses in the offensive zone. He has a solid wrist shot, but not an overpowering or quick slapshot. He can skate the puck through the neutral zone with ease, but isn't overly crafty once the zone is gained. Makes simple plays most of the time.
Again, if we get another Nurse out of that pick, I think that's pretty damn good.
