Broberg's stock has plummeted since being drafted. Here he is in a redraft done last October going 30th overall:

... And things have only gotten worse since then relative to the rest of his draft class. I suspect that at this point he's not even a first rounder in a redraft of that year. Defensemen obviously do take longer to develop in a lot of cases and he could still be a top 4 guy but it's looking less and less likely all the time.

I honestly think that of any team in the NHL with playoff aspirations, Edmonton has easily the worst blue line, and it's really pretty questionable how Jack Campbell will perform behind them.
