Amidst the Oilers' impressive defensive lineup, the position of blueliner Philip Broberg is being questioned. Bruce McCurdy from the Edmonton Journal ponders if the left-side defensive depth could hinder Broberg's progress. Darnell Nurse and Mattias Ekholm occupy the prime two slots, and Brett Kulak's $2.75 million deal with three years left complicates matters.
For Broberg, breaking into the Oilers' lineup might be a challenge. With established players on the left side, he faces obstacles as he strives to secure a consistent NHL spot. His aim of cementing his place this season comes with challenges.
