Why couldn't he just let Broly deal Vegeta's death but instead he planned to trap Vegeta on a planet that will be destroyed anyway by some asteroid shit?
Most likely Broly's lack of control was too much of a gamble (especially considering what it eventually did to Paragus), so the comet was a far safer bet than putting himself at risk as well with his berserker of a son and even if he were to bank on Broly, it's a good Plan B.
