Mediocre Brodin isn’t changing that. Maybe he reduces that average down 1, but then we reduce our offensive average by 1 too so why have an expensive to obtain 6M d-man on the team.
What the Oilers need is to add to our D. An upgrade on the 4LHD spot would be good enough assuming we keep everyone else we have.
1st + Broberg as the starting point to add a guy like Chychrun is the better trade for the Oilers to look at instead of Brodin.
Last I heard, a Dman who is among the best in the league in not only stopping chances, but in retrieving, then moving the puck quickly out of the zone is the first step to getting your offense going, let alone keeping the puck out of your net.
It doesn't matter. Brodin has a NMC, and is highly valued here. I don't see why he'd waive it to play in front of fans like you who don't appreciate his game.
