Broberg was probably done regardless with our org

How so?

He signed a 2 year contract. That deal could just have easily been with the oilers but they made a decision that he wasn't worth that money. How they were unable to look 6 months into the future and realize that they would be ready to bend over backwards to sign him to that deal. I said it at the time and it's going to continue to be true. Yes it was a slight overpayment but who cares?? They could have locked him up and had that player instead of overpaying at the deadline for a worse player.

Also interesting that they called cap space and flexibility so highly until.. Checks notes...Jon klingberg became available..


Maybe not if we showed interest in our prospects earlier but pretty sure by end of season Broberg was destined to be a holdout asking for a trade. His agent is pretty aggressive and was probably working on the offer sheet angle from the start of the offseason. Think Holland burned that bridge already, but it was on JJ for playing hardball with Holloway to start the summer. We thought we had our wings totally figured out with Arvidsson and Skinner so we treated Holloway as expendable.
