Broberg's skating on full display today at the U18s, Soderstrom's decision-making and responsibility on display too. While Soda isn't as dynamic a skater, his all around game is much better. Depends on what you want - an elite offensive guy in Broberg, or someone who can play D, chip in offensively, and do everything well but not one thing to an outstanding degree.

One complaint scouts have on Broberg is despite his offensive skills, he often lacks decision making in his own zone and is prone to turnovers. Reminds me when Luca Sbisa was first touted in his draft year in 08, good offensive skills but has issues exiting his own zone. Soderstrom on the other hand is far more superior in that area, but doesn't have offensive flare like Broberg.
Considering that moving the puck and making decisions in the defensive zone is what has hampered us for a while, I'm more inclined to go the safer pick and take Soderstrom. He may be small, but Craig Button and Cam Robinson scouts on Vancouver Radio have said that Soderstrom plays bigger than his actual size and is far more engaged in his own zone than Broberg is.
