Seravalli: Broberg/agent requesting a trade (mod: title updated, Oilers didn’t give permission to Broberg to seek a trade)

[cheech70]

Powers is not better than Broberg

 

[pth2]

Are they shopping him, or are they making him available ?

It's not quite the same - trying to sell off someone for whatever is available, vs making him available to improve the NHL team during the McDrai window. I figure there must be some teams who see him as still having potential and who could send back something to improve the Oilers immediately.

 

[Czechboy]

Wonder what Zegras would be worth today?

As for Bro.. don't do that 1 for 1 salary trade. You won't gain a thing.

Of course, the Oilers love to sell prospects at their lowest possible value. and here we are!

 

[God]

i'll always remember jim benning being mad that broberg went before they could pick him.

 

[Spawn]

Another genius Tyler Wright pick. A random HF poster would be a better head scout than him.

This pick was pre Wright.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Depending on the price I would be pretty open for the Blues to throw in an offer. They need young Defensive players.

 

[Old Boys Club]

This pick was pre Wright.

You're right, he came in after the '19 draft.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

I wouldn’t mind the Wild taking a shot on him, we could use a LHD for the bottom of the lineup and might be able to insulate him differently from Edmonton. Does EDM need a different ELC D back or are they more interested in a depth forward at league minimum? I know there were already rumors around Maroon, either he or Dewar would be good additions to the Oilers current roster IMO.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Paging @bernmeister your boy is available.

2026 5th + 2027 7th + Boo Nieves' ghost + 2028 7th + Zachary Berzolla for Broberg + 5th + 7th ahhh yeah

I think the idea would be to call up Ben Gleason to take the #7D job. He was great in camp and is impressing in Bakersfield. A forward would be preferable, in my opinion

You missed the novel sandwiching the proposal.

 

[Baksfamous112]

With Ingram doing so well in Arizona, would a Vedjmelka for Broberg+ trade make sense?

Yotes should not trade Vejmelka tbh. Unless that + is a hefty overpayment

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I feel bad for McDavid and Draisaitl. Holland is completely running the Oilers into the ground.

DET fans watching the Oilers:

EDIT: Image links not working anymore, or is it just me?

Not for Arizona. Changing anything right now would be silly for them unless it is very good value.

I'd say someone like Montreal might take a chance on him.

 

[Gliff]

Damn you’re fast.

Don’t see the Oilers getting much in return aside from another reclamation project.

You new here?

 

[MMC]

 

[CycloneSweep]

This was a blown pick from day one and they haven't even handled his development well. Some team is going to get a good skating d who isn't really good at allthat much else.

 

[VainGretzky]

Another Oilers first rounder struggling?
Is it bad drafting or poor development?


Getting rid of Campbell will cost 3 first rounders.

lol no

 

[SEALBound]

Broberg for Sean Walker.

 

[Phrasing]

Maybe Oilers fans have seen him more and can clarify but each time I’ve seen him he’s been underwhelming. Got beat one on one frequently, was outmuscled, and made terrible decisions with the puck when facing pressure and forecheck. Seemed ok with time and space.

 

[Kaizen]

AZ offers Jeremy Langlois.

Would not include him in trades to upgrade the team "now" and then he asks for a trade out and gets permission to seek a trade? Poor asset management. Goes from being a key piece that they won't move to virtually seeing him walk to low value.

 

[Yepthatsme]

Since McDavid was drafted, the lineup only has 5 players drafted after him, without Broberg. They need to get these prospects going.

Bouchard
McLeod
Hamblin
Desharnais
Holloway

Not exactly murderers row from the 8 drafts either, considering they’ve used their 1st rounder in every draft except the last (although I’m rooting for Hamblin).

Every Edmonton first round pick since McDavid has combined for 29 points across the NHL this year, which is hilarious once you realize Bouchard has 22 of the 29.

 

[Zerotonine]

Wasn't a really strong draft that year to start with, and yet Holland takes a wild card pick amd loses. Go figure.....

McLeod

Hamblin wasn't drafted, McLeod most fans want gone right now and Holloway is barely an NHL player.
