We need another solid top 4 guy and one on an ELC is a huge asset to have on a team like ours. Good on Zegras for playing well, that said we didn't draft Zegras, so I don't lump the two together. That said he has been solid enough for us playing a more difficult position during a major time of need. Remember when people were propping up Ty Smith and Dobson over Bouchard? Just because a player gets the jump on another's NHL career doesn't mean that they will always be the superior player.
I agree 100% we need a cost controlled top 4 LD asap. Someone to push Keith down the lineup asap. From what I was hearing about Brobergs play in the AHL I was pretty excited he might be able to do that this year.
Just from what Ive seen, Broberg isnt likely getting there this year in the NHL, and really still has not shown enough to even say for sure he ever will. To be clear, its still likely he ends up a top 4 LD but he hasn't shown enough in the NHL yet to say that definitively, nor does he need to at his age/development. Get him back to the AHL asap.
