GDT: "This Is Our Stanley Cup" | NHL 2019 Entry Draft | Part II

[Patch101]

I understand why Caufield is falling, but shocked at Boldy. One of my favorite forwards.

 

[CycloneSweep]

So Darnell Nurse.

But with no physicality at all and worse offense.

That said .if we are drafting Broberg and he is high on him. Klefbom or Nurse are getting traded soon

 

[CycloneSweep]

I'd trade Broberg and #38 for Kaliyev... make it so Holland.

I would trade Broberg for 39

 

[North]

Too bad the current NHL is all about high end skating. It's a tough skill to teach. I'd rather a good skating player with other deficiencies than a slow skater.

True. You can teach a lot of things he needs to work on.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Hobbs and Shaw?

f*** the nhl is so f***ing weak

 

[BudBundy]

Jeebus Murphy we’d better not lose RNH in two years. We wont have three forwards who know which end of the stick to hold.

 

[Patch101]

I'd totally be ok with broberg in that 12/13 area, but I'm really pissed that we took him at 8

 

[Gordian Knot]

Hope Caufield goes to east, he will haunt us otherwise.
I probaly jinxed Zegras pick...

 

[CycloneSweep]

True. You can teach a lot of things he needs to work on.

You can't teach brains and drive

 

[CupofOil]

When a team really likes a guy they want to insure they get him.

Exactly. People think these trades are so easy but when teams zone on a guy, they want to ensure that they get him and not take the risk by trading down.

 

[Leafidelity]

C'mon Sloane, ask Soderstrom about Coyote Baby

edit: coward

 

[McOvechking]

I'd totally be ok with broberg in that 12/13 area, but I'm really pissed that we took him at 8

This is the right analysis. He's an incredibly promising young defenseman, it's too bad he's not being recognized as such simply because he was taken too high and with some other players still available that are clearly a more pressing need.

 

[CupofOil]

This is the area of the draft where some team is going to get a Barzal/Connor type steal.
I predict that Krebs will make a lot of people eat crow.

 

[snipes]

But with no physicality at all and worse offense.

That said .if we are drafting Broberg and he is high on him. Klefbom or Nurse are getting traded soon

Why?

Broberg is probably 3-4 years away from being an NHLer

 

[North]

But with no physicality at all and worse offense.

That said .if we are drafting Broberg and he is high on him. Klefbom or Nurse are getting traded soon

Eventually you trade from strength so hopefully one of the guys from the A do start pushing Nurse and Klefbom.

 

[McOvechking]

Zucker replacement.

 

[780il]

I'd take Boldy over Broberg 10 times out of 10

 

[nexttothemoon]

Krebs is going to be a great mid round pick for a team.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

I had like 120 seconds of pure joy imagining Zegras creativity just beautifully meshing with McD/Drai/Nuge. **** you Oilers.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Broberg probably has the highest ceiling out of all the D in this draft. Whether hit comes close to it is another story.

 

[alphahelix]

Minnesota will come out of this draft looking good I think.

 

[CycloneSweep]

This is the right analysis. He's an incredibly promising young defenseman, it's too bad he's not being recognized as such simply because he was taken too high and with some other players still available that are clearly a more pressing need.

He isn't promising. The amount of work he needs is astounding. He can skate. Great. Bad defensive positioning, inaccurate shot, very sloppy hands, constantly caught out of position etc

He is a project defensemen that if everything goes right, he would be current Nurse.

 

[Soli]

We need to hit a homerun at forward at 38.

 

[Oilers49er]

Why is this not a live thread?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

But with no physicality at all and worse offense.

That said .if we are drafting Broberg and he is high on him. Klefbom or Nurse are getting traded soon

your understanding of nurse pre draft is way off.

he was not at brobergs level.
