I'm not high on Broberg but in no way is he cracking the line up when the team is 17-3. )The Oilers left side is locked up with Nurse, Ekholm, and Kulak.) From all accounts he's playing 25 minutes a night and doing very well in the AHL.I would rather go with some of the other offers at this point. Broberg is almost a toss in, according to Edmonton fans. I think we could get a better d prospect from another team, and while Edmonton seems to be on the outside of the playoffs, they have turned the season around and with Buch, I think it becomes a late first rounder.
Edmonton is in a playoff spot with 3-4 games in hand on everyone they are chasing to move higher up.
But I appreciate that you would want a lower 1st and a better prospect. I certainly would as well, but that is the best I can see the Oilers offering
