What a difference a year can make.\u00a0 Last summer, Philip Broberg<\/a> and Dylan Holloway<\/a> were looking at low-cost one-year offers from Edmonton, eventually leading them to sign two-year offer sheets with the Blues that ultimately weren\u2019t matched.\u00a0 Both players went on to have breakout years, playing big roles in their run to the playoffs.\u00a0 They\u2019re now extension-eligible and in line for much bigger deals this time around.\u00a0 In a recent mailbag column, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic posits (subscription link<\/a>) that the players could plausibly eye a contract between $8MM and $9MM apiece.\u00a0 Broberg had 29 points in 68 games last season and logged 20:30 per night of ice time while Holloway finished third in team scoring with 63 points in 77 outings.<\/p>\n

While the wrist surgery<\/a> that Caleb Desnoyers<\/a> underwent earlier this week ends any chance of him making the Mammoth\u2019s roster out of training camp, there is still the matter of determining where he\u2019ll play when he\u2019s cleared to return. Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune notes<\/a> that while there was speculation earlier that linked the center to Boston College, the expectation is now that he\u2019ll return to QMJHL Moncton if he\u2019s unable to secure a spot with Utah when he\u2019s cleared to return.\u00a0 While he isn\u2019t eligible to play regularly in the minors, he could actually get a few games there on a conditioning stint first before a decision is made on where to have Desnoyers suit up after that.
\nStill with the Mammoth, Brogan Houston of the Deseret News examines<\/a> their defensive situation. Notably, after a season that saw Utah deal with multiple injuries on the back end, GM Bill Armstrong has shored things up with the additions of Nate Schmidt<\/a> and Scott Perunovich<\/a> and the re-signing of Nick DeSimone<\/a>.\u00a0 In doing so, they now have a bit more NHL-experienced depth at their disposal, assuming they\u2019re able to get some of those players through waivers in training camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What a difference a year can make.\u00a0 Last summer, Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway were looking at low-cost…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,44089,48,46169,448,46170,82,759,765],"class_list":{"0":"post-75014","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-caleb-desnoyers","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-dylan-holloway","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-philip-broberg","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-st-louis-blues","16":"tag-utah-mammoth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
