Broberg makes the Sweden Olympic Team..

.. imagine what a fast, large, puck carrying defenceman could do for the Oilers..

What cudda been..

A big FU to Holland.. Jackson .. who caused the offer sheet.. and Bowman.. who could have matched.

To be fair, I don't think Jackson & Bowman had a great set of choices. By the time they're on the scene, Broberg is already sick of "over-ripening" and has asked for a trade from the team. He wasn't going to be excited about returning and wanted to play somewhere else by then.

It's kind of crazy actually - Holland left other more highly-rated prospects on the board to pick Broberg (can you imagine if we'd had Caufield's shot playing with 97 or 29?) and then just never showed much faith in that bet, always keeping him at the periphery. For Jackson & Holland, they had to make decisions on a couple of players who only a season worth of NHL games under their belt (81 for Broberg, 89 for Holloway). The management could have looked to re-sign them much earlier too and never made any effort.

As bad as Lowe, Tambellini, MacTavish and Chiarelli all were, Holland may be the worst GM we've had. He had the best players, in their absolute prime, and he just dithered and blundered his way through his five years here.

I think people apologize too much for ol'Kenny.

He did sign Hyman, made a great trade for Ekholm, acquired a depth guy who played up the lineup in Kulak, and took a flyer on Kane, but his mishandling of prospects like Broberg, bringing in Wright to head up amateur scouting, signing Campbell, The Nurse extension (overpaying for Keith in a trade contributed to this), 2-2nd's for Abdelkader, not re-upping Holloway far outweigh anything positive he did in his time in Edmonton.
