lol. I don’t know man. He looked pretty good to me. To each their own though.

He was ranked last in every analytical stat on the blue line over those 10 games.
That’s the worst D the oilers will have iced since at least 2019.
lol the posts that think Edmonton is doing anything close to sticking it to Armstrong crack me up.

Only if Edmonton actually matches it. They can still work out a trade right now with the team offering the contract before the deadline.
I truly doubt Bowman would help Army at all so it’s mostly a joke. But with Armstrong, I would never rule out anything.
Look at St Louis' forward depth. They have at least four Holloways. He wanted Broberg and now he's not getting him.
Are you just being contrarian for the sake of it? The Blues are willing to pay Broberg this amount because they see him as a key piece and the Oilers are looking to find a way to keep him because they see him as a key piece.
The guy was thrown in at the business end of the playoffs.. doesn't get bigger or more pressure packed than that... that was without playing a meaningful game in quite some time.
He's a young d man that showed he could hack it under pressure so to compare him to guys on that blueline that have played a large number of regular season and playoff games, is not an apples to apples comparison.
I am not an Oilers fan and certainly not a Stan Bowman fan but clearly Broberg is an asset worth hanging onto.

I specifically said before Edmonton matches. It was mostly a joke anyway. Maybe. Probably lol

Not really. Edmonton has plenty of similar players on the roster or in minors. Broberg is a way bigger long term need

No they can't. As soon as the OS is registered, Oilers have right of first refusal, which provides two options - match or not match. They cannot trade either player, and if they match the OS they cannot trade them for a whole year.The Blues are not a lottery team. They are dealing with influx

They didn't stick it to him, but his dealings invertedly caused the Oilers to make smart-ish moves.
Broberg might be a bit overpaid at what Armstrong gave him, but it forced them to dump Cody Ceci, and somehow for only a 3rd. That in itself is a win.

Technically until the oiler match he’s property of the blues, and still ineligible to be traded

I don't know. Barrie would be an improvement over Ceci. He played well over 1000 minutes paired with Nurse and better than Nurse did with Ceci statistically. Broberg is quite good on the left side, no matter who he was paired with. Stetcher and him would be fine on the third pairing.

Straight from CBA:
The Prior Club, within seven (7) days after36ARTICLE 10 10.3-10.3the date it receives the Offer Sheet, may exercise or not exercise its Right of First Refusal, whichshall have the legal consequence set forth below. Once an Offer Sheet for a Restricted FreeAgent has been received by the Prior Club, the Prior Club may not Trade or otherwise Assign itsRight of First Refusal for such Restricted Free Agent.
We got a very good RHD prospect out of it too by the looks of it.
Ekholm will be 36 in 2 years. A nice opportunity for Broberg to push for a top pairing role if he can reach it. Some in the org think he can, and some think he'll top out as a top 4. Either way he has opportunity now.
Found an interesting nugget on Emberson's Luck Pedia page.
If he plays less than 50 NHL games this year he will be an unrestricted free agent (Group6).
A player becomes UFA group 6 if they are age 25, have 3 or more pro seasons (includes AHL) and have played less than 80 NHL games (Emberson has 30 NHL games).
So if the Sharks didn't see him as a guy in their plans and didn't plan to play him those 50 games this season they would lose him for nothing. And perhaps they worried an injury would result in this as well.
It also looks like the Sharks are at the contract limit so they had to send someone back to Edmonton to add Ceci.
On a different note, they cannot retain on Ceci in any trade though - they have no slots left.

You really think the Sharks would have traded a good RHD prospect for Cody Ceci...?
You got a 24 year old career journeyman dman back
get Grier back on the line see if he'll take nurse and St.Louis 3rd for a prospect
I never thought the Sharks would have taken Ceci, period.You really think the Sharks would have traded a good RHD prospect for Cody Ceci...?
