What We Gonna Do?

[trucker]

When is the Import Draft? At what spot do we pick this year? Is Soberg still listed as a Bronco, and is that situation going to affect us in the draft? Should we even bother, or boycott the draft like Kootnay? Curious on opinions, and player names if anyone has ideas!?!

The Import draft is on the 27th, a few few days after the NHL Draft. According to the Broncos blog by ur radio pbp guy, Mark Lamb seems to be targeting a goaltender or top six forward.

Only pick an NHL drafted import. If one isn't available then trade the pick away. Its the best chance of getting a quality player and they won't all turtle and run home like Soberg. Otherwise that roster spot is easily filled with a Canadian or American kid. I'd rather see one of our 16yo drafted players get a roster spot over an unknown import.

Is Marcus Soberg a brother of Steffan?? Whats the deal with Steffan Soberg? Is he still a listed Bronco or did we release him? And with Nedomlel on our roster does that mean we only get one pick in the Euro draft if and when Steffan Soberg is released? Or is there a chance that Soberg may get weaned from Mommy this year and come over and play in a real league?

They are brothers.

Bahahaha!!! Guess it's safe to assume we won't be picking the brother then, after older brothers "no show"??? Bahahahahah. One would have to assume its a huge risk taking anyone from the Soberg family now!!

I think they are going goalie again, and will take a goalie that was drafted this draft. So that means the list would be:

ANDREY VASILEVSKIY
OSCAR DANSK
JOONAS KORPISALO
FREDERIK ANDERSEN
HENRI KIVIAHO
LINUS ULLMARK
MAREK MAZANEC
MAREK LANGHAMER
SERGEI KOSTENKO

I doubt we take a Russian.

Thanks for the list! Why do you doubt the Russian idea?

With the KHL and SC having a tough time getting commitments from Euro goalies, I just can't see it. However at the same time the NHL team does have some say to sway, it just doesn't always work (see: Soberg, Stefan)
