Dans la vidéo d’aujourd’hui, je discute du fait que les #oilers n’ont pas égalé les offres des #blues à Philip Broberg ou Dylan Holloway, laissant la porte ouverte à des transferts potentiellement plus importants et plus impactants pour Edmonton avant le début de la saison. L’équipe s’est donné une flexibilité de plafond salarial pour l’avenir, et avec Evander Kane probablement sur LTIR pour commencer la saison, les Oilers auront près de 6 millions de dollars d’espace salarial avec lequel travailler en octobre… Restez à l’écoute car les choses vont devenir encore plus intéressantes dans le pays du pétrole.

UPDATE: In a separate transaction, Edmonton acquires a 2028 third-round pick & the rights to defenceman Paul Fischer from the Blues. – https://x.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1825889303844557304
This is complete BS! Rumour has it Broberg wanted 1.8 mill and Holloway wanted 1.2 mill but Bowman tried to.low ball them at league minimum…..If Keith Gretzky or Mark Hunter were GM..we still have both players today. Why was Bowman hired anyway? Atleast they should've kept Holloway. ☹🤬
There shouldn't be a salary cap in the NHL to begin with. Franchise's selling for $2B and the salary cap is less than $100M. Then NHL comes crying to taxpayers for financial assistance. LOL. Totally bogus operation.
I doubt either player will ever have their name on the cup. We are stronger without them.
Odd that they made the trade with San Jose to clear cap space ostensibly to match the offer sheets and then don’t do it
Regarding the trade deadline, don't forget that last season, the Dallas Stars traded for Chris Tanev an only have up a 2nd, conditional 3rd, and a prospect (Grushnikov).
Agents got richer! Good job on the Oilers for not taking the bait. Good luck to Holloway and Broberg. They can spend all their extra cash on extravagant summer vacations while the Oilers are playing for the Cup!
These players were not worth those salaries not even close. I wish Holland had valued capspace more during his time as gm and refused to sign players to contracts that they did not earn. (eg. Nurse and Campbell) Having capspace available has great value in and of itself. Broberg was a disgruntled brat who was demanding more than his production on the ice showed he deserved. Holloway maneuvered himself into a worse situation for not much more.
We messed up their initial contract scenarios, but with our biggest focus on winning the Cup, we gambled they’d comply. These cancerous attitudes are something you don’t need, anyways. Broberg had asked for a trade, Holloway seemingly snakebiten with the Oilers. Time to move on, learn from the experience. You can’t allow players & teams to undermine your business! We sent a BIGGER message to everyone that we’ll only bamboozle our own affairs…seriously, JJ & Co. took us from 31st place to Game 7 & a goal from the Grail. Including some impressive, postseason stick handling, for the most part. 👍🏻
Just cleared the cap space to fk with st Louis I guess
I’m glad the Oilers front office at least didn’t make an emotional decision. Holloway and Broberg aren’t the future. Making Draisaitl, McDavid and Bouchard the future long term was the most important move and they preserved that today.
GREAT MOVE. Dont capitulate.
‘Refuse to match” might be a little strong. Decline to match might be a better way to phrase it. Deciding not to pay what these players might be worth some day (or might not) would not be a great idea for a team that is on the verge of winning now. The Oilers have managed to bring in players who can replace what they have lost while freeing up cap space that can be used at the deadline to fill a need and give them a chance to make a run. Holloway and Broberg stood in the way of that. They will help St. Louis fail to reach the playoffs this year. Again.
Edmonton made a HUGE mistake they knew their general manager was leaving and waited 3.5 weeks after free agent day to finally sign Bowman as GM. A front office in kaos was asking for offer sheets.
Klefbom officially retired o7
This is ok and the blues gived the Oilers another 3rd round of 2028 and paul fischer, but if i was the the Oilers i would try and get Anderson from the flames and gived then 2nd amd 3rd round picks and get Tyson barrie for league minimum
Losing a 10th overall pick for a 2nd and a 14th overall pick for a 3rd it tough.
I know there's plenty of blame to go around but did Kane cause this by refusing to go on LTIR?
Oilers can get some decent defender on trade deadline. Out Ceci, Holloway, Broberg, Mcleod in Podkolzin Emberson Savoie and free agent signings. If they add deadline team is atleast as good than last year
Don’t need broberg for 4.5 but Holloway is too bad, oh well
After two years, do you think they will except less? No. Either they get a raise or the contract stays the same regardless of their production. So if they are not in long term plans….then why keep them at all.
Winning culture? Gambling and assaulters.
Edmonton is far from a winning culture … they got have no heart
It's all Nurses fault….he took too much!… Everybody takes a pay cut except him….I'd rather have Broberg at 4.5 than Nurse at 9.3…..
I actually hope Kane is good for training camp and that he opts for surgery around the new year so he can go on LTIR before the playoffs start.
Honestly surprised that they didn't keep at least one of them…first I thought Holloway, then after the Ceci trade, I thought for sure they'd keep Broberg and just accept that his next 2 years would be 'expensive'.
By the way…I think Henrique should be on the same line with Janmark and Brown…so important in the playoffs! Don't ruin a good thing…keep the chemistry.
Stetcher obviously isn't good enough to be in the second pairing, but you've talked about how they'll probably try to work a trade for another defenseman. Otherwise, this defense looks weaker than before…Ekholm isn't getting any younger! (then again, maybe he isn't aging like the rest of us, similar to Nik Lidstrom).
Will they get boo’d when they touch the puck at rogers?
I'm okay with them being Blues, has over paying a player ever retained it's value? In any sport?
Bowman immediately saw the Nurse contract and said "Not this time".
0:09 I "was" a Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg fan, until they put themselves and their greed, ahead of their team and teammates. I get it, they have some promise, but really, I'm glad management let them walk. This event would start controversy and unravel the fabric of the roster in time, if they had matched.
They both chose to sign those sheets. Nobody coerced or threatened them to. They put their own gains ahead of everything else, on the back of a franchise, that is in no position to be playing these games.
I also have little doubt that Holloway will get any higher than a bottom 6 role, and Broberg, a bottom pairing d-man. Both of them had glimmers of good play in the playoffs, namely Holloway. Broberg was a liability as much as he was a benefit.
Again, just my take on it, bud. No flak towards yourself or any fan of either of these guys. Just think the team is better off letting them go chase their dreams in St. Louis. Edmonton is in "win now" mode, with colossal contract negotiations in the near future with Draisaitl, McDavid, and Bouchard.
Last thing this team needed, outside of the financial hellstorm it would cause to match these offers, is other players using a matching offer, as fuel for their own negotiations in the future.
Goodbye, Holloway and Broberg. I hope it was worth it. 🍻
Thanks for the updates Austin! I hope you've been enjoying your summer so far.
Stetcher has some extensive experience at the NHL level with different teams (500 games or so), and most of the teams he played on weren’t very good. I thought he showed some gumption in the games he played last year. He will compete for a spot on the right side.
The disappointing thing here is these awere the contracts where Oilers management held the hammer on the RFA contracts and they didnt push them earlier in the summer. I have no ill will on either signing as there are no guarantees that the money will be there down the road, or that the team will return to the cup final. As they say a bird in the hand…
That said if Broberg keeps improving at his current rate, 4.58ish should have been his next contract. His streakyness of consistency needs to improve, or this will look like a big overpay. Holloway will meet his offer's expectations if he plays healthy and gets a moderate amount of second line time. This was only happening in Edmonton if there were injuries or chemistry issues on Leon's line. Neither are awful contracts, but its unlikely both pan out successfully.
