65.6% offensive zone starts. 1% different than I said.Who is saying Broberg is better?
That's not true. Take a look at this zone starts again.

Based on what? They have very similar career numbers and are both top 10 D picks.
CBJ Counter with Broberg for a 2nd.
This is an all-timer. Holy hell. This offer would get beat by every team in the league in 2 seconds. If you’re gonna trade Broberg it’s gonna be for another reclamation project that plays a position of need.To EDM:
David Jiricek
To CBJ:
Philip Broberg
Similar to the Gauthier - Drysdale deal.
CBJ has an abundance of RHD. EDM has an abundance of LHD. With Provorov potentially being dealt, that opens up a spot for Broberg. With Ceci not being a top-4 dman, Jiricek is an upgrade. It helps both squads out.
Ceci isn't someone that we need to upgrade on. His performance as a top 4 defenseman is not questionable. Is Jiricek superior? Perhaps, I haven't watched enough of him to know, but despite his reputation being a bottom pair defenseman, his performance says otherwise.To EDM:

i feel like the tune out of the oilers fan base during the weak start to the season was the complete opposite. ceci (and bouch) was deemed a must go piece.Ceci isn't someone that we need to upgrade on.

Worked out pretty well actually. While he still has some warts he’s much much improved this year.
I understand the reply but lets not forget there are 13 year old kids on this site and they have no concept of value. Then there some like me that only watch their favourite team. It is the reason I never make offers for another team player.So Boston could also offer Ullmark for McDavid, as Boston needs a Center and Edmonton needs a Goalie.
This is why post my comment on most people have not clue what is happening with another team. Broberg had a meeting with Holland and they were seen shake hands after it was reported Broberg was unhappy with sitting and wanted playing time. I also think it is the reason Kulak has popped on at number 11 on the TSN trade boards. The Oilers know he is ready for the NHL.
Kinda seems like he wanted out. Glad he's happy playing in the AHL though.
therefore i gave him a similar scenario where his team would be on the losing end, so he hopefully can understand his proposal wasn't perfect. there was no personal attack or anything included.I understand the reply but lets not forget there are 13 year old kids on this site and they have no concept of value.

I live in Alberta so I follow both Alberta teams closely as well as the Devils.This is why post my comment on most people have not clue what is happening with another team.

As for value all things being equal a RD has more value than a LD. If it was me I would be more concern about Brobergs injuries . As soon as he gets any traction he seems to get injured and that has slowed his development.

Having an extra bottom pair D in Broberg is part of it butt he reason Kulak has popped up is more to do with having no cap space than making room for Broberg.
I think it's more about cap space and them hoping Broberg could fill in bottom pair minutes. They need the space and Kulak is the most expendable.If Holland and co. don't think Broberg is ready they won't move Kulak. So if Kulak is available that means they think Broberg IS ready. So I guess we'll see what happens.
I think the team still projects Broberg to be a 3-4 guy.

Even if they project him to be a LHS 3-4 guy he doesn't get you a RHS guy that projects to be a 1-2 guy.
Of course, I know that in all likelihood you aren't one of the guys that think Broberg alone gets you Jiricek but I'm just trying to get back on track lol.
Absolutely they need an upgrade on Ceci I don't know how achievable it is in the season though.I agree with you on all of these points.
The Oilers DO need an upgrade on the right side. Ceci has been okay, not bad and not great. Let's say good enough.
However if this team is going to go for it this year grabbing a really good upgrade on Ceci would be a smart move. They'd have to move his contract along with a pick or a prospect (or both) to get a guy like that.
Then a third line two way center and a back up for Skinner as insurance. Can Holland find another Ekholm type trade out there? That was a home run for the Oilers.
Haven't seen that stated anywhere else, so I'm intriguedOur D sucks? It features the best 1st pair; and best 3rd pair in the League right now. It’s a D core that brought the Oilers into the playoffs only to lose against the eventual cup Winners.
Delusional homer takes lolHaven't seen that stated anywhere else, so I'm intrigued
This is the kind of my team absolutely wins and the other team gets a guy we don't even want that I have come to expect around here.To EDM:

The analytics state it. Don’t worry, you’ll hear the talking heads “state it” soon. So that you’ll know what to believe. They are usually a month or two behind actual things happening, like how they thought the oilers resurgence was just mDavID cArRYinG tHe oIlERs aGAiNHaven't seen that stated anywhere else, so I'm intrigued
