While Broberg looks more dynamic, carrying the puck on the rush, his skating looks awkward like Bambi. He does have some great speed once he gets going though. I don't see a lot of footage of his defensive or transitional game. Will his game translate at the NHL level right away? I could be way wrong but he looks like a hit or miss type.

To me, Soderstrom looks better in all 3 zones. High IQ, really solid defensively, but his transition game is like, really really good. Breakout passes are clean and consistent, doesn't rush the puck as much as Byram or Broberg. Think Tanev but much better offensively. In the O zone, he looks like a PP QB the way he can walk the line and process the play. Plus, being right-handed, his cache is much higher.

We're going to get something good at #10 no matter what

Broberg’s main knock is his IQ and skating. He’s fast once he gets going but his edge work, lateral skating etc is nothing like Soderstroms. When it comes to IQ, Soderstrom wins by a fair margin.

It’s a real toss up but I’d rather have Soderstrom at this point

I’d be okay with soderstrom as well, especially with him playing in a tougher league. I just like brobergs size and skating combination.

Soderstrom is pretty confident, like Pettersson confident. The SEL didn’t phase him at all as a 17 year old. He also plays a gritty game. When he matures he will be playing around 5’-11” 190 lbs. Hes not exactly small

Exactly Dude. The Broberg looks like he's wearing clown skates, but once he winds up and gets going

I've heard it said that isn't as important in today's game,>>Rot.
I sure have seen enough of the playoffs to know it still is.
Just the fact opposing teams know you have one on the point that can, if he wants to, let it rip.
That in itself opens up more opportunities on the PP as it forces teams to cover for it.

When's the last time we had that? Not slugger Gudbranson, he never used it. But it didn't matter cause he was too slow for the PP.
We've been using Brock a big part of the time.
Before that, we used Daniel's cannonading blast. yup.

Remember Donald Brashears end to end rushes? Once he got going there was no stopping the Donald.

Here's one for the CC vault - who was the poster that has that classic Larscheid quote in his signature line - "he went coast to coast like buttered toast!"?

Lol, did he really say that? I miss Tommy
