The writing was on the wall, after Philip Broberg's breakout performance in the last couple of playoff rounds. Broberg was a former first round pick of the Oilers; and they always get opportunity after opportunity to crack the lineup.Wonder if Edmonton actually tried to re-sign this guy.
But you can't discount the playoff experience of a guy like Desharnais. I've sure the Canucks watched him closely during their seven-game marathon with the Oilers, and probably came away figuring that if he hit the market on July 1st, he might be able to help them.
