Geesh!I hope your wrong, because if your right… Houston we have a problem. I remember drafting Gagner after inflated seasons playing with Patrick Kane. Blame the management all you want for his development but he was spoon feed more than Tkachuk. Perhaps us thinking the opportunity existed doesn’t necessarily make it so, but I would like to hear the whole story.3. IMO Boldy fits the sniper role better than Zegras. His fluid skating ability allows him to punish over-extension immediately with how quickly he can start plays from his own end. In his interview PB mentions Sweden or CHL as a choice being discussed.He’s always been a big kid, and when I saw him this year I thought actually finally growing into his frame. What do you mean you didn’t see him trying?? Where was he taken? I am just guessing if that’s the idea, this is the first step towards that goal.Why would any NHL team draft/hire anybody that was that fragile in the first place?1. A large amount of emphasis on the Hlinka tournament. All the other prospects have their highlight reel built around their junior year. The Oilers have a few D prospects knocking on the door, I don’t understand why a Dman couldn’t have been drafted next year, especially when this draft was forward heavy.Which is why I mentioned he looked dominant vs his pier group. Find out Philip Broberg's latest linemates, game logs, advanced stats, news and analysis from dobberhockey.com My guess is he made no attempt.Sekera and Russel are on the way out, Nurse will want $8M/8 yrs, that is why we drafted a D manBroberg’s selection on Sportsnet:Correct me if I’m wrong, but JP was consensus 3 pick. The comments section of this site is like friggin cancer for self confidence. He was drafted eighth overall by the Oilers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Philip Broberg (born 25 June 2001) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing as a prospect under contract to the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). ScaryAnd the scouting consensus was JP at number 4. 8mX8? Everyone was thrilled when Columbus went off the board with Dubois and we got him at #4. This allows him to read the play early and make the most of any time and space found. If you look at his tier 2 highlights vs men he looks meh, but when you see him play against his pier group he looks dominant. Your sense of self importance is a bit over the top. Philip Broberg is a gifted two-way defenseman. Ken is staying ahead of the curve here by getting the best skater available. Hughes! Hopefully he’ll round into the top pairing dman most scouts seem to think he can become.Thanks for the info. I was impressed that Lavoie had 20 goals in 25 playoff games.Lol. Just imagine if McDavid etc did not have to start in their own zone to transition but could actually get a pass with speed through the neutral zone… something that has been mising for the last two years!Is it just me, or does Katz’s kids head account for half his body weight.Nurse, will receive a similar offer to what Jacob Trouba signs for in NY.Sigh – as much as you clearly look for the negative in any move/non-move, your reasoning usuallly has some logic to it, however, this is just wrong. Similar? He’s the future owner of the club and will be long after we are gone – for better or for worse.

The way the league is going, and with expansion coming, if your system can develop one NHL ready D per year, your team should be OK. That being said, I am not saying your wrong.
