Philip Broberg, once an Oilers prospect, is flourishing with the St. Louis Blues. His success highlights the Oilers’ potential missed opportunity in not giving him adequate ice time.

Broberg, under the guidance of the Blues’ coaching staff, is playing key minutes and contributing offensively. He’s averaging over 18 minutes per game and has four points in four games. His partnership with veteran Justin Faulk has been particularly effective.

The Oilers, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistent play from their defensemen. While there’s still time for players like Troy Stecher or Ty Emberson to step up, Broberg’s success serves as a reminder of the importance of giving young players the opportunity to develop and showcase their skills.
