Why do people have such definite opinions about drafting??? Philip Broberg projects as a huge, top-pairing LHD with elite skating and puck-moving ability. Completely dominated at world juniors. Caufield looks like a good winger, if not a great one (if you can get over the fact that he is so tiny). Who really knows who will be better in the long run?
Ken Holland's house was a few minutes drive from the USNDT facility and he watched them play regularly. But he passed on all of them. What does that say?
I say FWIW, keep Broberg and let Caufield play in Montreal. Oilers need a top-pairing LHD when Klefbom's contract runs out . . . which will happen right as Broberg makes his NHL start in 3 years.
