This appears to be a "he said, he said" situation with both sides offering their own version of the events as they have interpreted them. For Broberg, a change of scenery would be a welcomed change as the former 8th overall pick from 2019 has struggled to crack the Oilers roster full time. Clearly Broberg and his agent are frustrated with how the Oilers have handled his development and have continuously gone with veteran defensemen any time there has been a void to fill on the left side of the blueline. With
Mattias Ekholm,
Darnell Nurse and
Brett Kulak all ahead of him on the left side of the depth chart, and signed for at least the next 3 seasons, Broberg's path to a full-time NHL role appears to be blocked yet again.
