Armed with a 78.25-inch wingspan, Broberg's defensive foundation is his skating and anthropometry. The defender can intercept passes with his long stick, win puck races with his quick feet and be the catalyst for offence with his drive to turn up ice.
There are, however, areas under construction that Broberg is still building.
"I think it's my physical game and to get a little bit stronger in the corners and in front of the net," Broberg, who turns 18 on June 25, said. "But I still want to improve my first passes as well."
There's a sense that the 2019 NHL Draft class is replete with high-end centres and that many of them will be outfitting new threads by the time pick No. 10 rolls around.
But players like Broberg are making a case for the defencemen.
"It's really interesting because you go back to last year and a record 14 D were taken (in the first round)," said Cosentino. "Now I'm looking at this year, I'm at about the midway mark and I'm saying, 'You know what, there are defencemen here that I think are pretty good.'
"I'm looking at a class of probably seven or eight guys that I think are top-notch defencemen when three or four months ago if you had asked me that, I would have said this is a much more centre-focused Draft, which I still believe it is, but we've seen a great emergence of the defencemen in the second half."
