Connor has been working the phones with the other GMs to trade Broberg.

How the hell does an agent shop for a trade, anyway? It would be like me shopping for a Lamborghini. I can look around all I want, but I have no possible way of closing the deal.

You make a lot of noise and a big stink. Like Z or Alan Walsh.


The GM gets fed up because it blows the team up around a non-issue...and they shop the guy.

So you're not shopping for a trade, you're throwing a public tantrum? I can see that.

Now the next question: If an agent is determined to act like a toddler, how is it relevant whether the GM gives permission or not?

the fact that people pay for this stuff blows my mind

there are plenty of ridiculous Oiler takes available for free on HF, SN, TSN, ect.

TSN currently has them ranked above the Jets lol...because they beat them that one time?

Calgary ahead of Dallas I guess

The "Hart" Trophy .... they mean the one named after Cecil Hart?

The "Norris" Trophy ... they mean the one named after James Norris?

Are there other Hart and Norris Trophies?

Come on, you can't tell me Bouchard shouldn't be in the conversation for the Norris.
The guy is 6th in scoring among defensemen....and 231 for +/-

Heck even if you take out all of the outliers, like guys who have only play a few games it doesn't look good.

Amonst defensemen who have played at least 20 games he is 120 (tied with 6 other guys)/149

He is only better than ~15% of regular defensemen.
PP, he's great,
Playing defense, he's a bottom pairing guy.

Probably a bit of Holland telling Broberg's agent they don't like Broberg but Holland says he's too lazy to do the leg work to find a trade and he knows there's nearly nothing worth it coming back. So he says to Broberg's agent, if you want him to be traded, you go and do the work to find a deal. He would have had Coffee do it, but he's too busy now "teaching" the kids how to skate backwards.

Geez, we don't want that to happen. Almost anybody could get a better return than Holland, likely!

The 3 Oiler players suggested don’t make an NHL team other than the Oilers

Guys with value for guys with no (or negative) value.

Classic Oilyaz speculation.

The Oilers award the player of the game a toilet plunger when they win?
