I think Broberg's looked generally pretty smooth so far this year, although Tippett far from an ideal first coach, and his minus numbers give some concern that he wasn't really ready for the push yet. That's not the end of the world for sure - there's a lot of defencemen who aren't ready to excel in their first taste of the NHL.


Somewhere in Bakersfield, Dmitri Samorukov is looking sadly at the floor right now.

Also, just a side note, Bakersfield is one of my least favorite places I have ever been, and I I've always felt bad for our AHL guys for having to live there. I'd live in OKC any day ahead of Bakersfield if given the choice.


Matheson was tweeting about Samorukov yesterday and how he's been passed by Niemelainen and Broberg, and he's trending down in the organization's estimation so they should think of him as a trading chip now.

I think this is the mistake the Oilers always make - I was banging this drum earlier too - in that they wait for separation before ever making a deal, and then they sell low when someone has fallen out of favour. The team has to be more nimble in deciding which prospect is going to get the push, and then trade the other guy while his value is still high. Samorukov a year or two ago gets you something. Samorukov now? He's a throw-in to a deal more likely.
