GDT: "This Is Our Stanley Cup" | NHL 2019 Entry Draft | June 21 | 6:00 PM

[ChaoticOrange]

Can’t wait to hear Stauffer slobber all over his Mediterranean pizza super excited about this guy that probably tops out as what Darnell Nurse is today.

 

[Pointteen]

Zegras is gonna DESTROY us.

Holland throw out the f***ing scouts.


Also, I wanna see where Broberg was on other teams' lists.

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.

Building for the future by drafting more of the same and bolstering an area of strength

 

[BudBundy]

Chia wouldve traded the pick for Keiffer Bellows.

 

[North]

Calling it now, Samorukov is gone.

Not unless Holland gets a deal he can’t turn down. Broberg is going to take some development time.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Areas to improve "Everything but speed and size".

And now here starts the run of skilled forwards to division rivals. ****ing ridiculous

Still can't put two pairs of forwards together in 3-on-3 OT, can't throw out anything resembling a 2nd line, loaded on LHD in the system but we're still gonna let money like Zegras pass us. Caufield to Vancouver probably too. Boeser and Caufield and Pettersen as triggermen. Like geez

 

[Louis Cypher]

If Holland scouted 50 games of the US teams he should know I hope.

 

[McDoused]

We have so many defensive prospects already

You can never have too many dmen.

 

[McRpro]

I bet you said the same thing with Chiarelli

The draft is always a crap shoot. No one really knows how these kids will pan out. People saying this pick is horrible have no clue. It won't be known for years.

 

[McAsuno]

I hope he pans out but they f***ing had Zegras available.

 

[McBeastMode]

Maybe Holland has a trade in the works for Broberg...Might surprise all of us..

 

[McOvechking]

Can’t wait to hear Stauffer slobber all over his Mediterranean pizza super excited about this guy that probably tops out as what Darnell Nurse is today.

Weird comparison because Broberg has miles more offensive potential than Nurse ever had. To be fair, we need a guy who can carry the puck from the back end. I see him as more of a poor-man's Klingberg

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

With zegras on the board, idiotic to take broberg, he better actually be good

 

[herestohoping]

So all the hype for trades was just hype again. Every damn time!

 

[Beerfish]

You can never have too many dmen.

Normally yes but we have almost zero good forward prospects. I am still not sold on Benson being an impact and pully and yama are suspect as heck.

 

[Markham30]

That is a terrible pick just judging on team needs alone. How many LHD prospects does one team need? Our forward prospect depth is disgusting and we pick yet another LHD with Boldy and Zegras still available. This is partly why this team has been so bad for so long it’s almost embarrassing.

 

[nexttothemoon]

So we know this Oilers mangement are pretty loose with the rumours... Broberg picked as expected by the leaks.

 

[CycloneSweep]

With zegras on the board, idiotic to take broberg, he better actually be good

If he is ever good as Matt Benning id be absolutely shocked.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

This is a tremendous mistake.
The little optimism I'd gained leading up to this point with the staff shuffling is once again dampened.
Hope Holland has some important moves planned.
If his philosophy was building through the draft, he's already made a pretty big miss here on that plan.

 

[North]

Oh shit. They took Podkolzin.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Well maybe during the interview, Zegras didn't seem to thrilled about playing in Canada?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I’m now super excited for the mediocre third liner we trade Jones or Samorukov for

 

[alphahelix]

Wow neat, Podkolzin is interesting choice, could be amazing or not.

 

[CupofOil]

Russian to Nucks. Interesting.
Boldy and Caufield falling a bit

 

[Nunymare]

Interesting
