Broberg Trade that might make sense

I think this trade seems alright.
What do you guys think?

If Broberg played the right side i could see the logic. We just dont have the room for another mid-level LD. If we want another, they'll probably take one in the draft because there are quite a few good LD's on the docket this year (Dickinson, Kiviharju, etc). But i would imagine the right side is more of a goal at the moment

Broberg, can play the right side! He's comfortable on either side

Hmmmm, I would've thought Chicago fans would want Alex Vlassic to get more time in the AHL this season instead of being thrown to the wolves like he has been. Don't you think Broberg could take his spot so Vlassic can get top line minutes in the AHL?

Vlasic has actually played better than expected this year. But either way, the point is that I wouldnt target some just for the sake of eating minutes this season. We have guys that can already do that or we can pluck someone off waivers. A 2nd is nice for Dickinson retained if we decide we don't want to keep him. And Broberg might be a similar return of what we might expect for Raddysh, but i dont think the positional fit is there to justify this specific trade

Honestly, there aren't any lofty expectations, it's more of a challenge for him, so playing in the NHL is hardly throwing him to the wolves in this case. He'll probably develop better and have more time to get accustomed to the team's systems and bond with other members of their young core. He's probably happy with the better pay as well. The team will also get the opportunity to sign him to a pretty cheap bridge/long-term deal as well, the more the play him, it gives them a better sample on what to expect out of him so that they don't end up overpaying for him.
