Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Broberg Wants Out, Holland Sheds a Tear and Questions His Life Decisions While Making $13,698 a Day

[Bryanbryoil]

Every day that Holland does nothing he makes $13,698. Every week that he does nothing he makes $95,890 and every month that he does nothing he makes $416,667. Must be nice to suck at your job and make this kind of coin.

Give Ferris and Broberg what they want. Ice time…. In the AHL.

Problem solved.

I see this more about Deharnais taking Brobergs minutes.

Partially. They don't want to run an all rookie pairing(reasonable), so one guy has to be a vet. They like what Deharnais brings to the bottom pairing more than what Broberg brings overall, and Broberg hasn't ever shown enough to justify shipping out Kulak and/or VD out and giving him a path to regular minutes. Rather than realizing that they don't have the motivation to unblock the player's access to the roster(like they did with Bouchard by dumping Bear), they sat on their hands and hoped it would just work out over time instead of being proactive

Now they've got an unhappy player and his agent scuttling what's left of his value in the media yet again.

I'd rather trade him for something useful before he has no value or even negative value. I would've tried to use him as part of a package for an upgrade on Ceci in the offseason.

I still think Broberg has value around the league. There are just way too many bad GMs who look at draft position more than ability.

 

[TheNumber4]

Interesting comments by Rob Brown on Stauff. Said one time he was traded, the GM requested the Agent go public, so
It’s not on the GM that he wanted to trade Brown (they didn’t want to, but knew it’d be best for Brown).

Expecting a Broberg/Duclair swap.

Ugh

I would trade Broberg for Kent Johnson if Columbus offers it. 50P in 100 games on a shitty team

We thought that about Puljujarvi too.

A player's ability(or lack thereof) gets around the NHL pretty quick these days.

Hes also big, can skate and makes 860k. I am sure some teams value him. His true value is probably around a second round pick. But there might be a GM who likes him more than that.

I think that time has passed though. I advocated to trade him 2 years ago for that very reason, so hopefully he still has some value left cause it looked bleak to me even then.

I wouldn’t mind an AHL stint cause he showed he could produced on PP1 down there and his counting numbers may improve and give him some value. I hope anyways, not sure how much value that increases though, but have to think it’s better than him warming the Bench.

Expecting a Broberg/Duclair swap.

Ugh

Duclair? f*** I’d all over the Duke. What’s wrong the the Duke?

 

[Messrules11]

Coffey probably yelled at him, Broberg pouts and wants out...

Did I mention I wanted Zegras?

Take that and run. Run fast, take steroids, get the f*** outta there.

His $3 million cap hit.

Broberg for Kostin @50% would be funny.

Hmm yeh. I’d love to see him next to McDavid though. Everyone’s always talking about a winger that can “keep up” with him, the Duke is elite on the rush.

Ugh

Duclair makes $3m. Couldn’t make the swap even if you wanted to.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Zetterlund would be a solid target but probably not available for Broberg alone.

 

[Soundwave]

At this point I think it's imperative Jackson go find an interim GM. Holland is a lame duck just boot him out, he's not here next year and clearly has checked out.

Hiring someone in the off-season is going to be a waste, it's going to take them like a month at least to get their bearings, probably more with the tire fire Holland is going to leave. It would be better to have the next GM in place this year so they can have some time to evaluate and understand really what needs to be done and start making some changes, even little ones to start.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Watch Holland trade him to the Sharks for Zadina...

How do we know he wants that? Remember his preseason interview? He pretty much hinted if he didn't get NHL ice time, he'd want to be traded

Haha, yeah. Run Zegras down the middle and trade soft RNH for a defenceman. But nope.

I know I just taking a jab at them, they want NHL ice time for sure.

How is that bad?
