Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman recently took aim at the contracts signed by former Oilers Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway with the St. Louis Blues, suggesting their current NHL values do not align with the terms of their new deals. It might not have been a direct shot at either player, but it does explain,…
The Edmonton Oilers are currently over the salary cap and face the critical task of signing restricted free agents (RFAs) Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. The Oilers’ precarious cap situation leaves them particularly vulnerable to offer sheets, a rare but potentially disruptive move by other NHL teams. On July 12, during his show Oilers Now,…
As the Edmonton Oilers navigate the complexities of the salary cap this offseason, they find themselves $354K over the limit with contracts still needed for restricted free agents (RFAs) Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. The looming threat of offer sheets for these two promising players is real, though the odds remain low. Nonetheless, the Oilers…
Philip Broberg impressed in the latest playoff game for the Edmonton Oilers, demonstrating strong two-way play and contributing a key goal. The defenseman has made a significant impact after starting as eighth on the depth chart and is proving himself as a reliable NHL player. His goal in the second period of the game against…
Edmonton Oilers fans have something to root for over the last three regular-season games as prospect defenseman Philip Broberg is poised to join the team for the final games of the season against San Jose Sharks, Arizona Coyotes, and Colorado Avalanche.

The Edmonton Oilers are in a fascinating, yet somewhat unenviable position. They’ve got an asset they know is of interest to other teams, it’s a player they don’t want to move, but the organization is also aware that he may be one of the few pieces that can fetch a solid return ahead of the…
The Edmonton Oilers find themselves facing a strategic dilemma with defenseman Philip Broberg, and recent insights from TSN’s Darren Dreger suggest that a potential trade might be in the works, but with a twist. Dreger points out that it’s unlikely for Broberg to find a spot in the Oilers’ lineup unless there’s an injury to…
It’s a shame that the Edmonton Oilers may have no choice but to trade Philip Broberg this season. Not only is Broberg a high-end prospect that may hit his stride in the next season or two, but Edmonton had a chance to move him last season for a bonaifide top-four defenseman and didn’t do it….
