Notably, Broberg was loaned to the AHL after news of his trade request became public. This could be seen as a form of punishment for the player for leaking false information. Regardless, it now does appear to be the case that Broberg may be on the move soon. However, he also was not playing very well in the NHL so that could be a coincidence.
