I’m Leary about signing Broberg who only had a 10 game run, a little risky if you ask me!
Broberg is average at best. Holloway is worth fighting for a little.
I don't think that it is possible to keep both. Even if the Oilers put Kane on LTIR as it sounds like they will, the math just doesn't add up. We will need to trade away soneone too. If we do we are getting dangerously close to not having a full roster. So the Oilers are between a rock and a hard place here. Let Broberg join the Blues and match Holloway. I say that reluctantly as Broberg did wonderful things for us during the playoffs.
Admittedly, I am new to the inner workings of the NHL, but it seems too me the Oilers made a big mistake here and didn't make signing Broberg and Holloway a big enough priority and this is the price they pay. They have dragged their feet on this for far too long and look where it got them. They should have, like some people have already said, not signed Perry or Brown until they had their UFAs and RFAs dealt with.
This wouldn't have even happened to Holland, because Armstrong is his friend, but maybe instead of signing a bunch of older and fringe players, Jackson could have either signed even one of his RFAs or maybe left a bit of cap space. The Oilers hired a pariah GM where there isn't going to be any blowback from other GMs and Dubas even helped make this happen by traded St Louis their pick back. After trying to squeeze these RFAs to sign for as little as they can get away with I'm not going to blame these players for actually wanting to get paid. These guys could have been signed for a lot less.
I realized something. Talking about revenge, what if we sign one or the other in free agency in 2 years?
If stanbown match's there offer he should be fire him a jeff oilers got there self in cap hell with nurse
The blues did a great job by getting 2 years and not 1 year oilers are screwed.
I'm not sure it's worth matching the Broberg offer at $4.58 million. He had a good playoff but it's not sure that he can hold that level, and for that money they could look for an experienced right-shot defenseman at the trade deadline. It doesn't look like he wants to be with the team anyway. Somebody would have to be moved out, but by the trade deadline they'll have a better idea of who's working out and who's not. With the forward group they have they can score more goals than Nurse/Ceci will let in, at least in regular season play.
They'll match both. Then play them in good positions next season before trading at least one of them away after 1 year. The return will be at least a 1st Rd pick++ instead of the 2nd or 3rd that the team would be compensated now.
Honestly let them go, the oilers are taking team safe contracts left and right and they got an offer that’s more then what they’re currently worth. We have a ton of good rookies that want their spots.
Screw both of them. There is no way either is worth the money signed. Bring Tyson Barry back and any young fifth liner that Holloway would actually be on the Current Oilers roster. These two are so not with the money they signed for. And don’t tell me Dylan Holloway’s integrity is intact. Screw him.
St. Louis blues has no class
The revenge talk is bs, look at the Blues history, they don't let their top young players just linger out there all summer long. They have a history of locking up their young guys early and for decent deals at that. In addition to not only does the player have to be available July 1 the Oilers would need the picks to give up and the cap space. Neighbors will be 6m+ that's 1st round pick territory or more because even if the Oilers offered around market value for him the Blues would just match that, the have the cap to do so.
I say keep both. Ceci definitely goes to do this, and I could see nurse going as well. But nurse did well with Broberg. Just nurses money.
And the oilers get like a 2nd and a 3rd round pick out of this, these offer sheet should at least give them 1-2 first round picks
Fu** it, don’t match either, savoie take’s Holloways spot and stecher takes brobergs
Trading Nurse sounds like a really good idea 🙂
Lots to say I am not a finicial expert for the NHL things, but McDavid and company cannot ask for the moon UNTIL they win a cup your salary stays the same until you win a cup. 2 could Broberg and Dylans agents have holded them out on Edmonton just to get to a offer sheet. From what I see a lot of sigings from holland and company that dont make any sense, Edmonton needs some smart money managment when you have a team like this and penny pinching do it smart. In the end its the fans that want the cup and pay these players/managment salaries.
Keep Broberg. Talk about him wanting to leave has pretty much faded away. Blues offered him that much money because it's obvious what he adds to a defense. That's a lot of money for where he's at right now, but his potential is worth the gamble. I can see him being a top four defenseman in the not-too-distant future. Maybe even this coming year. Don't screw around with it. Put him out there and let him play. He can play both left and right sides. Great skater and moves the puck well. Third best d-man behind Bouchard and Ekholm. Defense first! He got a lot of experience in Bakersfield. And it showed during the playoffs. His ability really stood out. That's why Vinnie had to take a seat in the press box. Team pretty much stacked up front. Losing Holloway would hurt a little, but not that much. I'd like to keep him too, but it might not be possible. If it really comes down to it, I'd keep Broberg, and I'll be surprised and disappointed if the team doesn't do that. That's assuming he really doesn't want to leave. Defense first! We shouldn't be angry at them for signing the offer sheets. If we were in their position we'd do the same thing. And put Bowman on LTIR!
