Broberg Extension

[DawgDad]

The staff over at PuckPedia revealed Broberg’s contract breakdown relatively soon after:

Year 1: $10MM salary
Year 2: $10MM salary
Year 3: $9.25MM salary, full no-trade clause
Year 4: $6.75MM salary, full no-trade clause
Year 5: $6MM salary, 20-team no-trade clause
Year 6: $6MM salary, 15-team no-trade clause

If that's the structure then this as good a deal you can get...Blues could trade him off Year 5 or 6 for an absolute mint if he becomes the player he's projected to be

He could be worth twice as much by years 5-6.

I like that he only has a NTC for two years. As far as value can’t argue with that number. I would say Broberg has a high likelihood to be worth more than 8 million a year within 1-2 years.

He’s pacing for 25 points and has yet to score a PP goal in his life.

He’s not looking like a number 1…let alone a really good one

Can you stop bumping your other stupid thread to the front page every day now?

At what? Make a point ol’ guy. Support something if you can

[TruBlueFan_1970]

Seems like a good deal for both sides. Glad he’ll be here for potentially the next 6 years.

[Harry S Deals]

Great signing

I watch all the games. My assessment is consistent with the extension contract and the pundit assessments I've seen. He's tall/long stick, athletic, plus skating and puckhandling, plus hockey sense. He's not being asked to be a PP QB but he could be. Could have more goals and assists but the team around him can't finish and many can't skate fast enough to join the play on his rushes. He's getting nastier the more he plays. Solid top-4 or top-2, with his athleticism he should still have more upside.

Nastier? One example from the season please. I mean come on…it’s not who he is. Yeah of course he’s going to be top 4. He is now. He has a poor/weak shot and his execution offensively is average at best. He’s pushing 25. I don’t see real leadership in him either.

[BalotelliMassive]

This is a Steen victory - there's no doubt his connection to Sweden put this guy on his radar.

lol @ Stan Bowman

[gpe13579]

I'll go with I'm on "ok" with it.

Hopefully there is more there but if this is all he is it becomes underwhelming quickly.

A lot of good tools to work. We'll see how good he can use them.

[bluetunehead]

Given what guys like Makar and Hughes are looking at these days, that's a totally reasonable contract. Good move IMO. I don't know if it'll ever be some kind of steal, but at worst he's a solid all-situations Top 4.

[MiamiLaw]

That’s about as good as we could’ve hoped for. Nice work on this one

I wanted a bridge. I just can’t see him in the leadership group and I don’t think he’s earned it.

I don’t see this being a disaster. At worst, it’s a bit overpriced. He’s not a number 1 but this isn’t a no 1 contract. I think it’s a safe gamble.

He’s overrated around here but he’s solid.

It won’t be a disaster at all. Its principle. He hasn’t earned it for me. Plus he hasn’t looked that good to me this year…especially with the puck.

[somni]

He leads the team in TOI. Right now, he's a 1st pairing defenseman. Is he the #1? Yet to be determined.

No doubt he would've gotten $9M in the offseason. Good signing.
