"I would never let him go. That doesn't mean Edmonton will do that. Everybody has their own opinion. I played the game. I was a forward. People always ask, ‘Why do you care so much about defense?' Especially a team like Edmonton that is so high-powered, but at the end of the day you've got to have good ‘D' to control the game. If you don't, you're dead in the water.
I find defencemen to be the hardest thing to acquire in this game, and even though the story is still unwritten on Philip Broberg, he still showed some incredible poise and progress last year, and I believe that no matter what he'll be a Top 4 D in this league."
