Oilers had a chance at a few guys they weren't expected to be available, but appeared to be completely locked into Broberg.
Oilers now have a Swedish mafia on the blue line.

He needs to overripen. See you in 4 years PhilBro
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

If he doesn't end up better than that off the board Detroit pick, I'm gonna be pissed!

They avoided 2 or 3 US Development Team guys that were ranked higher. I wonder if teams are a little scared of those guys.

Bob: well Ken, if we hire you, how will you build a championship team in Edmonton?
Ken: Same way I did in Detroit - pick a Swedish defence man in the draft and hope he turns in to one of the best of all-time!
Bob: you're hired!!!

People loving these swedish D. Arizona gives up their 2nd to move up 3 spots to get Soderstrom who was ranked around where their pick already was.

I wonder if Jones isn't in play as a trading chip? There's too many LD in the system now and he could have a little value.

For the record, I don't mind this pick. I think you should only draft defence and big centres. If he turns out to be Klefbom, it's a win.

Oilers going to Oiler.
Make a pick higher than they should, and leave talent on the board. Zegras was a gift that fell.
They should deal some LHD prospect for some NHL forwards because they har a surplus of one and are scary thin with the other.

I look forward to seeing how Holland accomplishes that this summer. By my count, we have zero Top-6 wingers and one converted centre playing there who doesn't look out of place.

It's fine because Oilers probably would have passed on him anyway. They were locked into this a month ago.

Kind of seems like Jones and Bear went from the best defensive prospects to the best trading chips the Oilers have.

Well, the way it's going, we might still get Caufield with our 2nd round pick!

Yeah, and the fact is, that beyond the first two players, the rest of the forwards are a few years away. This team can't keep drafting today's needs today. Picking a high-end D-man isn't a bad choice.
Can't be mad at this pick - right now at least
97.

I dunno, I think we could've used a kid with a release like that.

I only caught this part way into the Oilers pick. But I could have sworm I saw Holland at our table in the middle of a Gretzky Sandwich. Good times.

Honestly, this might work our fine. But usually when the Oilers try to outsmart everyone else, it doesn't.
I'd this was indeed their guy, I feel like they maybe could have traded down to pick him.

Ended up being an odd draft. Was supposed to be kinda weak on D, but so many teams were chasing them. Arizona trades up for a guy ranked under where they were picking. Yzerman takes a 15 ranked guy at 6. Wonder if that Yzerman off the board pick actually worked against us, thinking that the D were gonna start getting snapped up. Arizona was sniffing around to make sure they got a D they wanted.
I'm sure all the insiders announcing the Oilers love Broberg also would have worked against them moving down. The guys below them happy to take a forward, likely weren't willing to give much for that swap.

I'll never understand why they don't keep their cards closer to their chest. Of all my criticisms of Chiarelli, the media's disdain for him not being open with them was not something I minded.

Well the Oilers get the 38th overall which is only 7 picks away - maybe Brett Leason is still available? 6 foot 4, right handed shot. Late bloomer.

If you're Holland to you trade and work out a trade with the Sens tonight to take Arthur Kaliyev tomorrow morning? Do you pitch Puljujarvi and #38 to make that pick?

Love the pick, you can never have enough young dman in your organization. I think he will be a great complement to the other Big 3. 2-3 Years from now could be a killer top 4:
Klefbom - Bouchard
Broberg - Larrson

I think you probably can have too many, or you can if you don't have players elsewhere. I don't know who is actually going to play wing for the Oilers next year.
I think there's enough prospects in the system, Edmonton needs to choose who they want to keep, who has a pathway into the NHL, what their ceilings will be, and then use some of them as trade chips to land some NHL forwards.
It does feel like the last two drafts have turned Caleb Jones and Ethan Bear from the best defensive prospects on the club to some of the best trade chips the Oilers have to use.
Also seems like Darnell Nurse could potentially be moved depending on how things break (what is his ask on his new deal? How is Broberg developing?). You just have to pray that Connor is okay with that and it doesn't break a fragile situation (I still don't see how this club makes the playoffs next year, but we will see how Holland handles this summer).
Broberg is likely 3 years away I would think. So really they shouldn't be moving any current defensemen based upon this pick. But they should look at adding some current forwards.
2-3 years we are likely looking at something like:
Klefbom - _________
Nurse - Bouchard
Samorukov/Lagesson - _________
3-4 years we are likely looking at:
Klefbom - ________
Nurse - Bouchard
Broberg - __________
Looking at this, maybe you keep Bear as a RHD over Jones, Samorukov, and Lagesson.

This keep getting better. Obviously he gets the edge with the 2 goals instead of Larsson's 1. Basically he's double the player :)
And Klefbom, sheesh.

Random thoughts about picking a defencemen and our situation...
You don't get NHL ready players at 8th.
We need forwards for this season.
This pick wasn't going to help the short term.
Defence is the backbone to your team.
Good defence is hard to find.
Thus good defence is a valuable commodity.
Good deep defence is a recipe to win.
Teams are always looking for defence.
A surplus of defence can be flipped to get forwards.

I did the “visual” Mac T test last night which was to watch Broberg’s highlight videos on YouTube. I’m actually impressed, Broberg is fantastic skater and really calm in his own end. It looks like he plays with an extra long stick, tall player. He’s a guy that likes to grab the puck, take a couple of strides and be out of the zone either with a pass or just skate it in.
I know I was emotional last night about the pick but I think he’s someone that will help especially when I watched a lot of Blues playoff games and saw their style of D which were just tall lanky D that can move the puck.

I agree with Nullterm and Clutch like Eberle. This place sometimes seems like Oilerbashers.com, not oilfans.com.
Broberg hasn't even turned 18 yet. I don't know of too many 17 year olds that have proven they are destined to be NHL All Stars, and I'm not going to say Broberg will even become an NHL regular. Nevertheless, he is now a possible future Oiler, and I'm hoping he gets support from the team and fans through the process. Nicholson said the Oiler way now is to let the prospects overripen, and Broberg seems like an ideal candidate to over-ripen, be it in Sweden, the CHL or AHL; maybe combinations of all of them.
The kid seems to have some good intuitive skating speed, which I don't think can be developed very much -either a young player has great wheels or he doesn't. He has excellent raw tools in other areas of his game, which can be developed and improved greatly over time with proper coaching and development. I know countless players the Oilers have brought into the organization have not been developed properly up to and including recent seasons, but young defensemen like Broberg provide a great opportunity for the Oilers to show us they finally know what they are doing in this area.
