Les Oilers d’Edmonton sont dans une situation délicate à la suite des offres des Blues de St. Louis. Et la situation ne fera qu’empirer s’ils conservent Broberg et Holloway. #EdmontonOilers #Oilers #NHL

i don't think any team would take Nurse with that 9.25 million contract. Kane isn't going anywhere thanks to the no trade clause that he won't waive as he wants to stay in Edmonton. Oilers will just have to let Broberg and Holloway go to St Louis, which isn't the end of the world. Also: rumor is Broberg wanted out of Edmonton ( he was not happy with minutes ).
They'll find Atlantis, Jimmy Hoffa, and Amelia Earhart before they find anyone willing to take on Nurse's contract.
Oilers should match Holloway offer. Let Broberg walk and take the compo. Holloway found his confidence in back half last season & was important in playoffs.
So they can't trade either Nurse or Kane without their permission which, in Kane's case (and probably Nurse's) they won't get. Kane's FULL No Movement Clause converts to a 15 team list March 1st of NEXT year. He and his wife and kids just built a house here. He's getting paid. He's on a team with great cup odds. Why would he want to be traded. Nurse is in a similar situation. He's got the bag and they can't move him without his permission. Take a wild guess which two words he'll give them. I'll give you a hint. It's not "Yes Please". Oh yeah, Nurse and Connor and Leon are big friends. Do you truly want to piss off Leon and Connor by trying to move their friend out? No if they're to keep Holloway/Broberg it really comes down to Kane LTIR PLUS trading another asset(s) to make up the difference. Really Ceci is the most likely. That handles THIS year. What about next year when Leon's new contract (however much that ends up being) kicks in? Well Jeff Skinner will be gone as will Ryan, Ceci, Connor Brown, Perry, and Neal's last year of buyout will be gone so that's nearly 2 mil more. That mounts up especially if they get the CAP increase they think they'll get. Issue is the players who go must be replaced or resigned to probably less team friendly deals. We'll see. Take care all.
Nobody is taking nurse, dream on and Kane wants to stay so he stays.
I feel bad for oilers fans. You guys can't see the forest through the trees,
last seasons fluke run was the one and only shot at a cup.
This year is the beginning off the end with the window slamming once the hack who owes #97 his entire contract Bouchard gets paid.
Oilers fans have become dillusional and bought into the fake hype created to get eyes on McDavid to goose the ratings.
The truth is the oilers are an injury to #97 away from mediocre and that's assuming Skinner won't suck.
They have nothing coming up to balance the fact that 4 players will eat up half the cap which is huge.
Looking at a team like Vancouver, already deeper not only has 2.5 million in cap left but several prospects ready, or ready soon to make the jump.
The oilers will finish 3rd or 4th in the Pacific and look forward to reading the comments throughout the year.
Trade Coady C for a draft pick. Sign Broberg. Sign Holloway send down Perry and Ryan
Nurse isn't going anywhere. You know better, Tyson.
You can't pay broberg 4.5 for what he might become. So much pressure will be on this kid. St Louis will regret this.
Nurse and Kane have nmc clause. They would have to agree.
Let them both walk. They obviously don’t want to win. 4.5 mill for broberg who couldn’t even make this team,black ace for the playoffs played a great 8 games but this is for a guy who hasn’t played a full season.
97/29 are taking less they should be to. If not cya later don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
Super bad take Tyson. You know better than this Nurse gets traded you say good bye to McDavid
Get used to this. With Bowman in the captains chair of the oilers line up… all unwritten rules and gentleman’s agreements are done for oil country.
The league has its way of ensuring karma strikes those who need it.
let Holloway and Broberg go. They should never have given Nurse his contract and why. Think about it 9 mil is way too much for a defenseman and now you have this situation.
Look, we have 2 young players that are putting themselves ahead of the team. Why would we want to keep them?
I would be spending my week investigating whether or not there is a market for them. If there is, sign them and then trade there butts to a bottom feeder for some serviceable vets. Let their ungrateful butts play out their careers in that situation instead of playing for a perpetual cup contender.
If you cater to there wishes it only bodes for more rebellion like that down the road.
This is going to be a real juggling act to get this to work out
both should go, I wouldn't pay for either one the offer sheets
This is asinine lol. Kane and nurse are not going anywhere lol
St.louis has 8 defensemen before broberg they probably need to trade one, let the players go, send back the draft picks and add a player (maybe ceci or a forward) and have doug risebrough ask parayko to waive his no move clause. Then work out the cap situation.
Leon Draisaitl is 13,5 M it is +5 M next year and if Evan Bouchard gets 9,5 that is +5,6 so total of 10,6 M for next year.
Let broberg go if he dont like it anything with the oilers but Holloway wortg keeping…
Darnell if hes starts playing like he should he will be worth it ✌️
Why wouldn't they wait a year for the money. They had a chance to win the cup with Edm.
Maybe the cup isn't so important to them. Others sacriced money to be an oiler for a good chance to win the cup. I say let them go. I'm bitter, can't help it
It’s kinda … nice for Edmonton really.
Neither skater is a core skater.
The team has huge cap challenges no matter what due to having 2 extremely elite forwards at the ages they’re at along with Bouchard and nurse.
Now Edmonton can let offer sheet guys walk and have a ton of cap flexibility, pick one or the other and manage, or somehow force the situation to retain both. Until something like this happened they were up against it. Now they have a chance at freedom.
trade both Nurse and Kane if that's what it takes to keep Holloway and Broberg. Nurse is a liability more than an asset, Kane was playing injured but if healed in the off season could be used as trade bait.
Nurse needs to be traded to come cover up coming signing. Broberg can walk he played amazing in the playoff but can’t pay him that
Trade nurse, pay half his salary to take him off our hands…pay the other half to broberg..done
Sign both, if you can. At least keep Broberg, They have Evander Kane on LTIR is looking likely and Trade Ceci and move three players down such as Josh Brown , Stecher , Cory Perry.
There you go again in a panic, let them go and let’s get rid of the annoyance
nobody wants those plugs with all that money good luck
