Round 6 Pick 152 – F David Broll
With the 152nd overall pick in the 2011 NHL entry draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected F Dave Broll from the Erie Otters of the OHL.
Broll was a decent player in junior throughout his 4-year OHL career, scoring 139 points in 255 games. That being said, his production had very little value to the Leafs, as the ‘truculent’ winger would post 285 penalty minutes.
The ‘Brolldozer‘ would join the Marlies for a 7 game stint to close out his 2012-13 season, he would score no points but would record 15 penalty minutes.
Broll’s ‘tenacity’ would earn him a 5 game stint with the Leafs the next year, record a single assist and 1 fight. Broll would also score 16 points in 63 AHL games.
Broll would spend the next 4 seasons bouncing around the AHL, with stints in the ECHL. Broll would score 23 points in 200 AHL games from 2014-18 and 9 points in 16 games.
The Brolldozer would split last season with the Providence Bruins (AHL, 0 points in 1 game) and the Jacksonville IceMen (ECHL, 13 points in 29 games).
Broll, 26, is expected to start the 2019-20 season with the Coventry Blaze of the EIHL.
