f*** that’s rough

 

[NeverForget06]

of course he goes to the ducks too.... so oilers hahah

 

[McOvechking]

Even if Broberg turns into a stud we'll have people saying that we should have traded down regardless. Gotta trust the scouts and new GM guys, they know more than us.

I genuinely wonder if Holland realizes how abysmal our offense group is though for passing on Zegras. That's just mind boggling.

I bet you said the same thing with Chiarelli

 

[rboomercat90]

The Chia regime would have picked Zegras IMO.

Bring back Chia?

 

[Beerfish]

I'd say there were going to draft this guy for the last month no matter how the draft played out in front of them. If Turcotte or Byram fell to them they were taking Broberg.

 

[The Moose]

Not taking Zegras will be looked at in a few years will be similar to us trading for Reinhardt and passing on Connor and Barzal

Or picking the HFboard choice Puljujarvi and passing on Tkachuk. Oh, wait...

 

[Grub]

Cole Caufield please.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I'm glad Zegras didn't fall to Vancouver.

 

[BudBundy]

And of course the Ducks get it right. Of course they would.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Calling it now, Samorukov is gone.

 

[Wewillrise]

I don’t get it

 

[Da McBomb]

We have so many defensive prospects already

 

[yukoner88]

No ****ing forwards on this team, what are you thinking Holland you stupid ******* piece of ****ing ****? GO AWAY.

you werent expecting them to pick someone to play in the line up right away were you???

 

[Digger12]

Wonder how this pick affects players like Nurse and Klefbom

I doubt it affects them at all, as this kid probably won't be in the NHL for 4-5 years, if he makes it at all.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oiler scouts doing their thing.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Zegras to our division to throw it in our face for a while now. Holland better have a way to address our lack of forward skill outside of 3 players... Zegras would have been a big step towards that

 

[oobga]

another cocky little punk added to the ducks. Great.

 

[780il]

Wtf man

Anaheim got our guy

I HATE THESE f***ERS EVEN MORE NOW

 

[alphahelix]

If Vancouver takes Caufield I predict him ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING US for 5 goals per year for the next decade.

Quote from Ken Holland

"We're going to build a team for the future"

Begins by drafting a defenseman. It's a good place to start. Too bad they didn't start to do this 10-12 years ago.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I expect some dmen to get traded for sure now.

I don’t know much about Zegras but I’m pretty sure we could have used another star forward. Glad to add Broberg but this pick could look stupid in a few years, we’ll see.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Button gushes about Broberg. McKenzie and McGuire avoided joining the discussion.

 

[Porkleaker]

you werent expecting them to pick someone to play in the line up right away were you???

No, but there are plenty of GOOD D prospects already, no need for more. We need more forwards in the system.

 

[Cloned]

Calling it now, Samorukov is gone.

More likely Caleb Jones...or even Nurse.

 

[McOvechking]

Fair point. I guess (hope) this means RNH is part of the long-term plan for the Oilers, and they will look to add wingers through trade and free agency.
