No kidding.
But we're going down a bunch of tangents that have nothing to do with my point.
Is Broberg a better defenseman than Ceci as of right now? Yes or no.
Yes, and it appears the league and Oiler coaches agree with that yes statement.
He replaced Ceci on the second pair late in the playoffs while playing on his wrong side. It was a noticeable improvement despite playing against the two best teams in the league. A raw rookie making plays Ceci could not. On his wrong side. On the second pairing. With an injured Nurse.
The Blues offered 4+ million and a second round (nearly a first) pick for Broberg.
Ceci fetched a third (nearly a fourth) at 3+ million.
Yes, he is better right now and most likely much better by the end of the year. I don't mind saying that he will be worth his contract by the end of this year. He will most likely outperform it the next.
