The Oilers are an old team

The Oilers need “dig the f*** in”.

The Broberg thing is interesting.

If a player can look like a tweener on one team and a top 4 stud on another I think that has more to do with the coaching staff and development team than the on ice personnel and player.

He looks fantastic, right now

Or maybe just maybe said player wanted out and was already checked out and is now having fun on new team with new Chance. Let's not act like this is the first player to blossom with a new team and fresh start people

I mean he got 12 regular season games. Can't get anything going on defense with that. Gets thrown in during playoffs, does okay but gets smashed when put in the top 4. Blues just bet money it was Nurse that was the problem, not him.

Pretty small sample size right now.

Me personally think Broberg looked pretty good on Oilers games. Sucks losing him lots of potential. But he ain't worth no 4 mil a season right now

Trade Nurse for Broberg. Problem solved

It almost brings me to tears knowng that the Oilers could have signed him for $1.8m.... but I guess he wasn't worth that either.
However, lets put that aside. $4m for 2nd pairing RD Broberg or $6m for Perry, Henrique, and the two Brown boys? Or what the hell.. $4m for a past his prime Arvidson?
The Oilers have foolishly spent $4m+ on a lot of useless players. I would say coughing up $4m for Broberg would have been a wiser destination for the money. St Louis certainly thinks so.
