The Oilers came close to winning the Stanley Cup in 2024, and their off-season spending shows they believe they can take that final step in 2025. However, with all this spending, the team is now right up against the salary cap. According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, this could make them vulnerable to an offer sheet for Broberg.
Frank highlighted that Broberg is a player to watch. He proved his worth in the post-season, but with a veteran blue line, there might not be a top-four spot available for the 23-year-old, which he is seeking. While his NHL numbers aren't impressive yet, he excelled in crucial moments and wants a bigger role.
Offer sheets are still rare in the NHL since they require significant draft capital, but for teams looking for young talent on defense, Broberg's situation is worth monitoring.
