[Rumour] Oil exploring a Broberg trade

[Coconuts]

 

 

[HKSR]

I like how EDM is trying to pump him up like he's worth an article of his own.  He's trending like Jack Rathbone right now.

Still a young D who was recently drafted high, 8OA in 2019 and only 22, could very well go on to have success elsewhere 

 

Thing is, if they don't have a space for him in their top 4 sooner than later he's only going to lose trade value imo

 

Could end up being a savvy acquisition for whoever lands him, particularly if they're a team who can afford to be a bit more patient with young D than the Oil can afford to be 

 

Oil should be trying to go for it now, Draisaitl and McDavid extensions loom on the horizon 

 

What they'd actually get for Broberg is anyone's guess though 

[Honkin Hronek]

I still remember Benning trying to trade up from 10OA to get him. Glad we dodged that bullet, and ended up with Hoglander with the second rounder we would’ve given up. That was the Vancouver draft :DD

Will have to be a dramatic turn of events.  He turns 23 in 6 months.  11pts in 79 games in the NHL playing with an offensively heavy team.

CBJ retaining 1/2 on Boqvist?

Sure, but the old narrative of D taking longer to develop has stuck around for a reason 

 

Oil also have limited trade chips 

 

I think bottom feeding teams with D they can move will be very interested 

 

BJ's could flip any of Provorov, Boqvist, or Peeke for example 

 

A team looking to turn over it's D like Washington could give up pending UFA Edmundson 

 

Anaheim has Lyubushkin who's a pending UFA

Could be a smart addition for a young team in Columbus, certainly 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I feel like Bromberg will find success with another club.  IIRC he was touted to have more of a complete game for a defenseman but Oilers gonna Oilers.

[Coconuts]

Arizona doesn't have a single D signed beyond this season, they're looking to take steps forward but with their D in flux they could be in the mix too

Stecher and a mid round pick maybe? 

[Eddie]

Basically the J.V of defense. Everyone in his draft year pointed out he couldn't read the game and was undisciplined and nothing has changed, other than his physical ability doesn't stand out in the NHL that well either. I remember it actually being quiet a reach for the Oil to take him that high. Glad we dodged the bullet either way - tho the jury is still out on Podz i'd say he is tracking a bit better than the Bro at this point.

I like Troy but I don't think he'd move the needle enough for Edmonton

 

Broberg to Washington makes a lot of sense for Washington imo, Edmundson is a pending UFA with 1.75M cap hit and the Caps have been slipping of late 

 

The caveat would be Edmundson's 10-team NTC, and whether Washington has any plans of extending him or not 

 

But if Washington feels he'll walk they might look to move him

 

Washington acquired Sandin last season, could see them being open to adding another young D

I was really low on Philip Broberg in his draft year. I can't claim to know much about prospects outside of Sweden but at least with the Swedes I have a chance to watch them semi regularly. I'm not surprised this is where he is at. He wasn't a smart player then and he hasn't improved much on that front. 

Saying that, a lot of players just need to find the right fit.

but we coulda shoulda had caufield or Boldy... love how Benning took a kid who was trending down instead of guys that were trending up...

[canucks curse]

love how Edmonton is slow AF to fix their goal tending - they have been trying to fix it since the Corey Schneider era

Never hear that rumor at the time or since.

 

I definitely could have seen Benning taking him at 10. Most lists had him in the early teens. Edmonton reached for him based on organizational needs. They had no need for a forward like Zegras or Boldy

They should have moved him after signing Kulak for 4 years. They really don’t have a lot of trade chips so it’s a fair bet that they try to use him as part of a package to try and move Campbell imo.

[Drakrami]

22 year old 6'4". There will be takers for him, the question is how much they pay.

The kid was oozing raw talent but the hockey smarts weren't there. Rarely do those types work out.

This guy really shouldn't have been a top 10 pick, maybe late 1st round, probably early to mid 2nd round.

 

There were better options available.

This! He's another Virtanen, but without the lack of self awareness and really questionable habits.

[Elias Pettersson]

Rumour is Broberg to Columbus:

 

To Columbus:

Philip Broberg

Ryan McLeod

Jack Campbell

 

To Edmonton:

Andrew Peeke

Elvis Merzlikins

 

Apparently, the Oilers want Elvis to be their new goalie saviour...

Yup. Broberg is a dough head. Virtanen brains.
