GDT: "This Is Our Stanley Cup" | NHL 2019 Entry Draft | June 21 | 6:00 PM

[Tad Mikowsky]

I won't pull a "WE JUST DRAFTED THE BIGGEST BUST IN THE DRAFT" move like a certain someone, but I am let down by this pick.

Oilers dont' need more LD.

Broberg is a great skater and I'll give him a shot, but man. Passing on Zegras...

 

[Smartguy]

Not taking Zegras will be looked at in a few years will be similar to us trading for Reinhardt and passing on Connor and Barzal

 

[CycloneSweep]

First stamp on the team Holland makes and it's a massive failure

 

[Jepprey]

Bring back chia!!!

I mean just joking. Sometimes I take it too far.

 

[CupofOil]

Don't worry guys, we have Puljujarvi. Oh wait...
Well, Yamamoto is tracking very well. Oh wait...
We're set with skilled forwards

 

[48g90a138pts]

Soooo we picked a D and a centre in the same pick

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

I want off Holland's ride.

 

[3IR]

Man, not the BPA ,and not an area of need either.

This ones a head scratcher... we really can't afford to be blowing more first round picks...

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers are terrible at drafting...and development

can't trust their picks ever

 

[Beerfish]

Victor Hedman to EDM

Or maybe Steve Kelly to Edmonton.

 

[Faelko]

They're all teenagers, nobody knows how they'll turn out.

Welcome to the Oilers!

 

[Digger12]

LOL you could really measure the "excitement" from Michaels and Stauffer on that Broberg pick. Even they couldn't find it in them to muster up much hype.

 

[soothsayer]

The Oilers, always smarter than everyone else. Just ask them.

 

[Cloned]

To be fair, the same thing happened to Cam Fowler.

 

[frag2]

Wonder how this pick affects players like Nurse and Klefbom

 

[North]

I’m disappointed but he’s an Oilers player now so I’m going to cheer like hell for him to succeed.

 

[McOvechking]

I like Broberg more than most people do, but you just don't take him over Trevor Zegras. You just don't

 

[Porkleaker]

No f***ing forwards on this team, what are you thinking Holland you stupid asshole piece of f***ing shit? GO AWAY.

 

[McRpro]

Even if Broberg turns into a stud we'll have people saying that we should have traded down regardless. Gotta trust the scouts and new GM guys, they know more than us.

 

[nexttothemoon]

It's not a massive failure because he's a good dman... but there's better prospects left on the board.

 

[The Batman]

Disappointing. Going to watch the Esks game.

 

[Navx94]

Zegras going to wreck us for years to come great.

 

[CupofOil]

"Areas to Improve: Puck Handling"

Great

Areas to improve "Everything but speed and size".

And now here starts the run of skilled forwards to division rivals. f***ing ridiculous

 

[North]

Wonder how this pick affects players like Nurse and Klefbom

He’s a little ways from being a pro. Does nothing to them in the short term.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

What about this as a nickname, Philip Seymour Brophman?

...Is that a reach?

 

[Fishy McScales]

No opinion on the pick, but people complaining we didn't throw our plans out the window should think back to when Pulju fell into our lap.
