Broberg may be one of the best defensive skaters in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Starting plays from his own end, he can fly around the opposition or shoot a puck up ice to one of his teammates. He hasn’t put up the points like some of the other defenders in this year’s draft, but he already has experience playing against men in the Swedish Allsvenskan League.
Broberg is still making a name for himself at this point, but he has some notable accolades along the way. In 2016-17, he won a bronze medal in the Swedish U16 Championship. Then in 2018-19, he won a silver medal at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup with Team Sweden.
