Re: Broberg's defense
We gave Mikkola away, but yeah Broberg isn't bad, but where is Parayko and Fowler...they are bad, very bad.

Yep, he's been real good.
Re: Broberg's defense
I remember people on this board - last year - insisting Perunovich was a better skater than Mikkola
Re: Broberg's defense
Minus the Holloway injury issues I’m still in shock how good these 2 guys are! They are both developing like top 10 picks (Bro was a top 10)

Re: Broberg's defense
The other day I was thinking Holloway was the one player that we could least afford to lose. He had a slow start to the season but he finally got going. He was also one of our most physical forward. I was thinking that he could back off that a little simply because you want him in the line up. Broberg hasn't been the offensive force he was early last year, but he is a defensive force. You can see he's finding that offensive part of his game again.

We didn't give Mikkola away. He was part of a package that netted the Blues a 1st round pick.smilinjoefission wrote: ↑16 Dec 2025 19:25 pm We gave Mikkola away, but yeah Broberg isn't bad, but where is Parayko and Fowler...they are bad, very bad.
The Rangers got him and they gave him away....letting him sign at seasons end in Florida.

Re: Broberg's defense
I remember when the trade happened. I was a little stunned that he was included in the package. You can look at it different ways, but I thought Tarasenko was for a 1st and Mikkola was for a 2nd. I thought he was a player the Blues were looking for, a big physical defenseman.Bubble4427 wrote: ↑17 Dec 2025 08:14 amWe didn't give Mikkola away.

Re: Broberg's defense
Mikkola's potential was not recognized much here on this board.
To this day some call him a jag.
Them are the facts.

Re: Broberg's defense
The last thread on him some months ago.
So yeah I assumed their opinions haven't changed.
