HF Habs: Team Board Mock Draft

[Justin11]

If Broberg is available at 15, its a no brainer.

 

[The Great Weal]

Let's ask Christer Rockström what he thinks of Broberg: if he loves him and mentions Lidström, avoid.

Lol Olofsson over Hallander

 

[le_sean]

For those voting Broberg, why not Heinola?

Broberg is bigger and a much better skater.

 

[Justin11]

Drafting at 15 is not as exciting as say 1-3, but what's exciting this year is that I believe we have a chance at drafting a potentially very good player. Looking forward to draft day.

 

[OB5]

Tomasinoooooo

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Broberg is bigger and a much better skater.

And very reliable defensively.

 

[TT1]

York

 

[Hasbro]

Added Dorofeyev if anyone wants to change their vote.

 

[WeThreeKings]

For those voting Broberg, why not Heinola?

I would break them down like this
Size: Broberg
Shooting: Broberg
Skating: Broberg
Passing: Heinola
Hockey IQ: Heinola
Defense: Broberg

The question really is, how big is the gap between Heinolas IQ and Brobergs IQ where it will Trump the variance in skill-set/tool kit?

Heinola was very good at the WJC and in FEL while terrible at the U18
Meanwhile Broberg was dominant at the Hlinka and U18s but was not very effective against men this year.

It's a good debate and I think it's not cut and dry at all. You have to have a really good handle on Brobergs IQ to make the call.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I doubt he will available though

 

[NeptunesTrident]

I voted for Connor McMichael. I believe they can get 1/2 really comparable defensemen in the 2nd rd. I'd rather they use the 1st on a possible home-run forward. If not McMichael, Dorofeyev or one of the top ranked forwards(if they start falling) would be fine by me too. If they do take a defenseman in the 1st rd, I hope it is Heinola.

 

[ahmedou]

Brobergian one day.

Brobergian for life.

Heinola's and Broberg's hockey IQs are in different tiers. QED bro.

 

[Legend123]

I dont see as much potential in Heinola. I really hope we would draft either Broberg or Harley over him. Both will be better.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Heinola seem bang average to me. I understand the concern with Broberg (they are warranted) but the guy has everything to become a NHL defenseman for a long time.

 

[Baksfamous112]

To me: York, Broberg, Tomasino in that order.

Yup. Go big or go home. We already have prospects like Heinola. We dont have a broberg tho.
Also yes his iq isnt the best, but it isn't terrible and we have many high iq Ds to help him out. Brook, Romanov, Fleury, Harris, Juulsen, Weber, etc..

 

[EveryDay]

Broberg
York
Brink

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I chose Dorofeyev. Given the available choices:

1. Dorofeyev. 2. Heinola. 3. Seider.
4. Broberg. 5. Tomasino. 6. Brink.
7. Lavoie. 8. York. 9. Thompson. 10. McMichael.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Broberg for me, We need the size and the skating. But I doubt he falls to 15th..

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I think Heinola or York. Broberg is overrated in my opinion. Of the forwards, Brink is very interesting.

 

[yoteshot]

Is anyone seriously going to argue that Brink isn't the best forward available on this list?

Probably not... but if that's the board when we pick... we better pick a freaking D-man.

 

[The Great Weal]

Not going to lie, in this scenario, I'd like to trade down 2 spots. Broberg, Heinola and Dorofeyev are all really close in my opinion.

 

[Deebs]

Gotta go with the Bro
