The Jets acquired Broadhurst via trade from the Blue Jackets in exchange for future considerations, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is Broadhurst's sixth year of pro hockey, and he's played just two games in the NHL while spending the rest in the minors. The 25-year-old center is having a respectable season for AHL Cleveland with 29 points in 48 games. The Jets are stellar down the middle, so Broadhurst will initially report to AHL Manitoba and stay there for the remainder of the campaign.

Broadhurst was placed on waivers by Columbus on Friday in order to assign him to AHL Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Broadhurst -- who logged just two outings last season -- will likely spend another year in the minors further developing his game. While the 25-year-old could earn a call-up or two this year, he is unlikely to make a significant impact for 2018-19 and, as such, won't provide much in terms of fantasy value.

Broadhurst penned a one-year, two-way contract extension with Columbus on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Broadhurst -- who made his NHL debut during the 2017-18 campaign -- logged 66 games for AHL Cleveland in which he racked up 19 goals (a career high) and 22 helpers. What the organization decides to do with unrestricted free agent Mark Letestu will likely determine how big of a role the 24-year-old Broadhurst plays this season.

Broadhurst made his NHL debut in April skating in two games while averaging 10:02 of ice time, but was unable to record a point.
EDGE Analysis
The first two games of Broadhurst's career were relatively quiet, as he only had one shot on goal and didn't record a hit or a blocked shot. However, his season in the minors was nothing of the sort, as he reeled in 41 points (19 goals, 22 assists) in 66 games, his career best point-per-game pace in the AHL. The big knock on the 25-year-old's game is his small frame -- he weighs just 178 pounds -- but he is strong on the penalty kill, which should help him eventually make the jump to the NHL. However, Broadhurst could find a new home for 2018-19 as he's set to be an unrestricted free agent.

Broadhurst was promoted from AHL Cleveland on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Broadhurst has earned his call-up by tallying 41 points in 66 games for the Monsters this season. The move to bring in the center was necessitated by the injury to Nick Foligno (lower body). Whether the 25-year-old Broadhurst makes his NHL debut versus the Oilers on Tuesday remains to be seen.

Broadhurst was waived by the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic Toronto reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2011 seventh-round pick has yet to make his NHL debut, and he likely won't get the opportunity to do so in 2017-18. If Broadhurst goes unclaimed, he'll be assigned to AHL Cleveland.

Broadhurst agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract extension with Columbus on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Last season with AHL Cleveland, Broadhurst garnered 25 points and 23 PIM in 52 outings. Originally selected by the Blackhawks in the 2011 NHL Draft, the 24-year-old has spent the past two campaigns in the Blue Jackets organization. The center is still looking to make his NHL debut, but whether that happens this upcoming season remains to be seen.

Broadhurst has been waived by the Blue Jackets on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Broadhurst has yet to make his NHL debut and will report to AHL Cleveland if he is unclaimed off waivers. Last season with the Monsters, the 23-year-old registered 10 goals and 26 assists while helping to lead the team to a Calder Cup championship.

Broadhurst signed Monday with Columbus on a one-year, two-way deal.
EDGE Analysis
Broadhurst registered a solid three goals and nine helpers during AHL Lake Erie's championship run last year. In addition, the Illinois native racked up 36 points and 14 PIM in the regular season. The depth down the middle in Columbus is definitely creating a logjam at the center position, which means the 23-year-old will need to prove to the organization why he is deserving of an NHL call up.

Broadhurst was extended a qualifying offer by the Blue Jackets, The Columbus Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Picked up from Chicago last offseason in the Brandon Saad deal, Broadhurst scored 10 goals and 36 points in 60 games for AHL Lake Erie before finding another gear in the playoffs, scoring three goals and 12 points in 17 games as the team won their first Calder Cup. He's still only 23, but the seventh round pick in 2011 may have already reached his ceiling as a pro, so don't expect him to crack the NHL roster.
