Broberg on the other hand showed flashes and I am definitely intrigued for his future, but I don't think I'd back up the Brinks truck quite yet. A bridge deal with a higher AAV and lesser term would be preferable on him to me.
I want them both signed long term... asap
I don't know. Broberg had times when he was amazing and other times when he wasn't. Now the learning curve for a d is much higher and he has all the tools, but I'd rather look at 4 years or so for him if possible. 7 or 8 would be a bit risky still in my opinion. I wouldn't be losing sleep if they went that route though.
What I saw was Broberg looked like a legit top four D bordering on potential top 2 then got injured, he never looked the same post injury. I never felt he was fully healthy post injury. Hoping he can regain his form from early in the season.
Yea he was incredible to start the year no doubt. But it wasn't just on the physical end that I saw the dip. Prior to the injury, his hockey sense seemed off the charts. He was seeing the whole ice and rarely made a bad play with the puck. He wasn't able to regain anything close to that post-injury.
So he went from super star to just star performance or do you still have doubts?

I agree he dropped off after the injury but what he provided thereafter was clearly a #3 role as a young player.

Great skater, led the D with his plus/minus, 29 points on 68 games 20 mins a night and no pp time doing it.

He can well grow into a # 2 no doubt about it, imo. It's all there for him.
He’s a good player but to get him for 8 years is going to cost serious money. Like $7+ at best and probably $8+ honestly bc you’re buying some ufa years. Do you feel ready to make a $60+ mil commitment to him? It’s not as cut and dry as it seems
