Were there better D-men available than Broberg? I'm not super familiar with a lot of the available prospects.
Feel like I’m missing a lot smh @flask just watched your boys in DARE play, people went off, they were good
I guess drafting project players is a sign thay they're actually interested in developing their draft picks instead of rushing them to the NHL? That's the most charitable way I can spin it.
Best thing is, he'll be ready to play right away. He only needs to stay one more year than a prospect would normally to be ready. He's the 3rd best prospect in this draft. Cons: he might legitimately never come to the NHL, and if he does he'll be on the rangers or some random Russia friendly team in like 2024. Canucks have had the worst luck with Russians since tryamkin left (he sucked).
