BPA Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 BPA BPA BPA If that's Broberg, then it's fine with me. Especially if the pick is backed by Gradin. He has an eye for the Swedes!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's slated for about 38-42 and I'd still consider picking him. Nolan would be a great pick in the 2nd round. Big, bruising, hard working power forward that can score goals and has improved his skating this year. He may take some time to develop, but I am certain he will get there and may even end up in the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an eye for the Swedes!! That's exactly what I was going to say. Also, the knock on him has been offensive decision making, which as a dman can be improved and he's not going to be counted on to be an offensive driver from the back end Also, I have to wonder, just as JB was talking up Glass and Vilardi, maybe he's got his eye on someone like Seider and doesn't want him taken early. Teams know the Nucks are doing well scouting, it could make them think twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the Pettersson comp at all. Zegras doesn't shoot like Pettersson at all, Zegras is quicker than Pettersson, more of a pure passer, doesn't has the netfront game Pettersson has. Craig's got some good analysis of prospects but sometimes his comparisons are off to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I don't see any of the D's in the top 10, but it sounds like JB wants on of them for his 1st rounder. My preferred D's are either Seider or Soderstrom. Not getting the Broburg love. He seems a bit risky to me. If you want a big guy who uses his body, plays well in both ends and can score; choose Seider. If you want a Swedish player that is already playing big minutes in the top adult league in the country and is trusted on the pk, 5 on 5 and power play, choose Soderstrom. Broberg plays in a secondary league and put up the same pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s hilarious considering he’s one of the best skaters in the draft. He gave him only a 3/5. Mind you, this guy Button only gave Pettersson a 3/5 in scoring and he ended up leading the entire SHL in scoring the following year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) https://www.tsn.ca/alex-newhook-centre-1.1301984. Here is Button’s comments on Newhook. He only used u18 tourney highlights and never bothers with his Victoria highlights. His skating is much better than a 3/5. East Coast Bias is Real.

Pure961089 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Button give Newhook a 3/5 in skating. This is what LWOH had to say about Newhook skating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearoftheNuck Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 2 hours ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: This quote basically kills my hopes of getting Boldy, the left winger, lol. Of course we all know that wingers hold the least value of all the positions, but Benning’s emphasis here on the order of positional importance really makes me think that he won’t be going with a winger with this year’s 10th. My guess is that he’s targeting Söderström, Krebs and Zegras. Possibly Broberg too. Both Krebs and Söderström just scream a Benning kind of player to me. The great thing is that anyone of those four players would be a very welcome addition to our prospect pool. Broberg has a few elements of his game that make me a bit nervous, but if he reaches his potential he could easily be better than the other three players mentioned. Also, he’s extremely entertaining to watch I’m personally hoping for Zegras though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs change by the time they make it to the show! Agreed. Drafting positionally is pretty foolish when you consider that we need help pretty much everywhere. We need top 4 D. We need a top 6 LW to play with Petey and Boeser. We need a top 6 RW to play with Horvat and Pearson. We may need a top 6 LW too if Pearson regresses to what he was before we landed him. _______Pettersson Boeser Pearson? Horvat ________ _______ Hughes Stetcher Juolevi We need all sorts of help, and prioritizing based on position is what killed us in 2016. Let's not do that again. 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’ve ever had a good read on what JB was going to do at a draft... I’m pretty sure he said there were no top end d the year they took OJ.... obviously spending a pick on him as high as they did says that what a smoke screen. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
