maybe should've kept Ceci thenThere is no guarantee Broberg is a top 4 D either. Rolling the dice.

He literally said 5 words over and over until I went to sleep.He was fine. Likely nervous and clearly coached to come back to pat, non controversial answers. Add that the teleconference link wasn't good adding a couple mumbling questions which he didn't hear and had to ask to repeat or clarify the line of questioning. This was the equivalent to going to the dentist. Not fun but necessary. His persona will change once he hits his new city.
That's the last good thing I have to say on this guy.
I think that more accurately Brobergs development coincided with a team that is very very weak on the right side.He couldn’t grab a job at left d when it was available. They had no choice to get options and then played him on his off side since those openings were the only ones available.
Unfortunately for him his development coincided with our need to start challenging for a cup and we couldn’t coddle him.
gee, I'd hope soThere would be a bunch of question marks if we signed them as well.
Listening to Bowman it sounds like they will push for an upgrade on D before the end of the season anyways.
I feel like this is exactly what long term contenders do. Consistently trade futures, drain the cupboards and push every year. The team has its core. Everyone else is a rotating cast.If I'm trading one of those guys for a Dman, he better be fairly young and signed long term. The Oilers can't throw away valuable futures for quick fixes and/or older players.
Close to 4 million which with 50% retention lands a top 4 d man almost every yearWith the current cap space does anyone know how much that will accumulate to deadline cap space ? Man I miss Capfriendly
Pinning our cup hopes on a player who was decent for 10 games last season isn’t exactly promising either.gee, I'd hope so
pinning our Cups hopes on Emberson, Stetcher and J. Brown is a recipe for disaster
Broberg is just reading off the scripts provided by his agent
Absolutely. He was well coached to steer back to soft, pat answers. This is the 'tough decision, it's business' pro forma interview that has to be done. It will change on friendly new home soil when he moves there.He literally said 5 words over and over until I went to sleep.
" Very, Excite, yeah, well, uhhh"
jk aside I turned it off knowing there would be much of nothing in the interview.

He looks like Marv from Home Alone.
Again though when a team is developing a top 10 pick it isnt the same as a player who doesnt have the same level of pedigree.Click on line combos.Philip Broberg - Fantasy Hockey Game Logs, Advanced Stats and more - Frozen Tools

I don't have time on ice for the AHL but he did play with Desharnais a bunch.
But in Brobergs 1st AHL season their most played d had 4 lefties, 2 righties but I know for a fact he played with Desharnais and Kemp at times. I think most of the lefties took turn at right. Which is common.
His second season he played 7 games so....doesn't really count.
this year in the AHL Was left d heavy but if I remember seeing lineup cards I think Gleason played more right d than Broberg.
Really? How much did they contribute during the regular season?Losing Ceci, Broberg and Holloway has for sure made us worse
Nurse could rebound, he was good 2 years ago, last year was his worse year based on expectationsEkholm, bouchard are solid
Nurse is a headache and the other 4 guys would 6/7 on most teams
I believe.we have another deal in the works
He's one of the best 3rd pair anchor defensemen in the league. The coaches have all loved him, and he has helped guys like Desharnais transition to the NHL much easier. Sorry, you don't trade guys who excel in their role for rookies who don't absolutely steal the spot - which Broberg didn't - if you are trying to contend. This mentality was fine when we were rebuilding, but we're contending now. Contenders don't sacrifice key playoff performers for prospects.Kulak isn't a first team all NHL defenseman, he's a 30 year old third pair left side only guy with limitations and crashed when they tried him at 2nd pair. and he's getting paid $2.75M, who was in trade discussions last week.
If he's here after the deadline I'd be surprised.
I remember a few short years ago when the price of a D was Taylor Hall. Now the price is an offersheet. just saying.
By no means am I comparing Broberg to anybody but he was a highly touted D pick that had done his development years. Orgs like this told us guys like this were literally impossible to just pick up and that NHL is hard league to make deals...
That said the org itself made fiction of this sort of thing getting guys like Ekholm, Barrie etc.
the list is longer. We just made the cup final playing Desharnais and McLeod as well. I get it though. The core of the team is secure.Losing Ceci, Broberg and Holloway has for sure made us worse
That's the result. The questioning is how and why Oilers management let this situation get beyond its control to manage.
