Top Oilers prospect Philip Broberg will stay for playoffs
Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland should’ve shaken his hand and seen him off on a flight back home to Sweden. Instead, Philip Broberg has turned a week of training camp into a spot on the team’s playoff roster.“The plan really was, he was going to come over here for Phase 3 and then about Friday or Saturday this week he was going to go back to Skelleftea,” Holland said.The team’s first pick, eighth overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Broberg played 45 games for Skelleftea in Sweden’s top league last year.
