Phillip Broberg

If he didn't want to be an Oiler he would've asked for far more than he did. Oilers did him dirty.

he asked for a rate the oilers could not match

 

[ExileNZ]

Oilers couldn't match 1,8 millions?
No they could they decided that forwards such as Skinner were more important and they paid the price for it.

They didn't rate him for 1.8 million...

McLeod is an irrelevant player on an irrelevant team

McLeod is an irrelevant player on an irrelevant team

More relevant than players likr Josh Brown, Podkolzin or Ebenstrom

They chose to bring in UFAs before taking care of their RFAs.

Oilers got hosed by the blues and sabres the end.

Oilers hosed themselves.

McLeod brought energy and was great on the PK for the oilers. If he puts up 50 points this year, letting him go will it real bad.

That's literally why Jackson sat on his hands. JJ wanted to leave those deals for the incoming GM. That was clearly the wrong decision. Had he just focused on them and signed them, this all could have been avoided. End of day it's mostly on JJ. He was overseeing the end of the Holland era and all those last moves had his stamp on them, not Hollands. Examples the Brown deal, The Knoblauch hiring, these were JJ moves.



He's been productive as their 3C for sure. He's not the 2C in Buffalo.

True but then I saw this. They're implying McLeod is their 2nd most valuable centre because of the defensive draws he takes.

More relevant then Savoie and Arvidsson

Broberg is a good player - and will be for a long time. Oilers fumbled that one.

Ryan Mcleod - don't even get me started lol - that guy is perfect for Buffalo. Put some points up in Buffalo, skate around fast - but no pressure or physical play

Really nice of the Oilers to bring Broberg along slowly and give him that extra year of experience in Bakersfield. It really benefitted the kid and when he was called up for the final time in last years playoffs he was ready to hit the ground running.

One of the few times the Oilers didn’t rush a guy and instead let him develop properly so he could maximize his potential. Nice work to the Oilers. Kudos on your work with Broberg. He’s a gem.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Is Philly boy better than Nurse the Hearse?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Broberg is good but he was blocking players like Stecher, Emberson and Dermott and might have taken away minutes from one of the top D, Darnell Nurse. The Oilers had no choice but to let him walk.

This thread is heartless. Can a mod add 'schadenfreude' to the thread title?

Emberson was acquired after Broberg was signed by the Blues.

Emberson was acquired after Broberg was signed by the Blues.

Sarcasm isn’t your strong suit is it?
