The differences don't matter. It was an RFA that signed an offer sheet with the intention of leaving.
Friedman likely has real info that Broberg wanted out but there is no mention of the motivation. With both situations we don't know what was going on in their heads. If you think that Broberg's resentment is permanent, that's all your speculation based on tiny shreds of info
Imo if Broberg finds a real role and success here, he will love being here. All it would take is the same opportunity Bouchard got. Bouchard was pretty inconsistent before the team bent over backwards to put him in a position to succeed
They certainly do. Context is everything. Broberg asked for a trade, does not want to play here, signed offer sheet. Weber signed an offer sheet but loved playing in Nashville. As far as motivation its been stated numerous times by numerous sources so I am not sure where your coming from other than "wanting to believe" which is all the rage these days.
Just because you want to believe it something doesnt mean it happens. Brobergs development was poorly handled by the Oilers, Woodcroft refused to play him, Holland refused to send him down, and when he did play it was on his off side. In StL he will play on the left side.
Broberg will not get the opportunity Bouchard got because he will see exactly zero seconds of PP time, he will play on his wrong side here, as he is blocked by Nurse, Ekholm and Kulak for the next 2 seasons.
Pretty simply stuff when you want to look at the reality and not what you want to have happen.
Facts don't care about your opinion.
We live in 2024. What people "feel" and what their opinions are matter more than facts these days. It's getting pretty tiring as there is no rational discussion to be had anymore when facts no longer outweigh feelings.
