I don't know that I've ever watched Broberg but I promise you Woo is... well, he's physical in the same way PK Subban is physical, I guess.
- BINGO!

Amen

It’s all subjective. But the idea is for the team to draft who they believe the best prospect is, regardless of its a winger, Center, dman.

yeah.
1st round was awesome.

Now i'd like to see CBJ and SJS move on.
Not interested in the other 6 teams.
- dbot

Me too, I’m hoping for a CBJ vs SJS final, with Joe Thornton winning his first Cup. Anybody but Boston!

Give me York over either of them if Benning is set on taking a dman

I don’t see what makes Broberg better than Jett Woo so I don’t understand taking him at 10
- Nucker101

I think Broberg is a mirror image of Edler who was Canucks best Dman in their 50 years.

I would easily take another 15 years of that type of D . He also can play both sides which is even more valuable.

Agreed


He’s just trying to come up with creative ideas to improve the team he loves
- Nucker101

He is out in left field like all of us now and then but I always have time for him.

Benning still leaves me a bit uneasy in this regard, sure the last couple years have went well, Pettersson’s arguably the best forward in his draft year and Q. Hughes MAY be a top six player in his draft year but Virtanen and Juolevi are stuck in my head.

I have been saying all year how I feel about this draft. I still think there will only be 5 or 6 very good forwards that will be an impact and none of them will be available at #10.

I feel very very strong about a Dman . So now time to wait and see.

Yeah, i dunno.
I thought Broberg had some better wheels and speed than Woo?
- dbot

His potential ceiling projects higher... both skate well.

Sodderstrom is projected a safer pick than Broberg. Higher floor... maybe lower ceiling. The opinions vary. York may be better.

What do you like about them? (besides sticking it to Flames fans)

I don’t think too many flames fan are too upset with that trade lol

I liked the balls Flames showed this year . They made a huge jump.

Really?

I figured there'd be some regrets there.
The team you made a major trade with is going to the Conference finals, while your team is out in 5 games.

That's me after Benning trades for Subban.

That is sad

It is . He would have been a very good a second pairing. Hopefully Hughes can change that.

That is sad

Of the players I’ve been old enough to see, Ohlund is still tops for me

That is sad
- A_SteamingLombardi

I don’t think he’s the best in Canuck history, he just has longevity on his side regarding his numbers. More talented defensemen have played for the team.

Brent Burns is 74?

Me too . I was using numbers when I said Edler was the best but I like Ohlund as fans choice.

For those who remember that far back ( Vantel, Makita, Ye oldtimer etc) Paul Reinhart was the most gifted.

Jovo
Ohlund
Lumme
Edler
Lidster

Reinhart was probably the most talented.
