I won't be worried until he loses his waiver eligibility and still isn't on the team. A player with his mix of size, speed and offensive abilities should be worth the wait.
Agree with everything here. Samorukov's final year of waiver exemption is in 2021/22. I'd rather show preference to Samorukov to really evaluate what we've got in him. The following year is when I'd give Broberg a very long look (2022/23, his draft +4). I'd much rather take the time to develop him and be patient to make sure the wait was worth it.
Here's a somewhat similar situation. At the beginning of this season, could we have given Bouchard the job at 3RD and sent Bear down? Sure. There's then a chance of missing out on truly seeing what we had in Bear before next season when he becomes waiver eligible.
Again, with Nurse, Klefbomb, one of Jones/Lagesson at 3LD and Samorukov marinating in the AHL, no need to rush anything. Give Broberg all the time he needs, and then some.
