Broberg has wanted out for a while. I doubt he would have got the Oilers more than a second in a trade in the open market. Defensemen can take a while to develop, so he could still pop, but I think the Oilers will cut their losses on him.
I think they will match Holloway. He pushed his way into the line up in the playoffs. With Kane likely LTIR-ed for the season, I see Holloway in a top six role this season with the team.
