Still 75 minutes until deadline for matching Philip Broberg/Dylan Holloway offer sheets…but, judging from the last week's moves (adding a young defenceman and a young forward), it appears Oilers will not match and allow both players to join St. Louis.

Expecting formal announcements from the teams themselves some time this morning.

  2. Pleeeease. Broberg and Holloway have a ton of potential, give us some awesome depth and if they break out could be absolute difference-makers. Even if they don’t work out, both would walk right as our youth comes up (Lindstein, Jiricek, Stenberg, etc.)

  4. I’m officially ready to get fucked at the last minute. All signs are they’re both coming to STL, but I know the oilers got the tweet queued up to send out at the very last minute.

    But hot damn what a Tuesday morning if this works out.

  5. If they don’t match this is GM of the year worthy already. Absolutely insane and boosts the team immensely.

  6. I just saw a cropped quote on an NHL Headlines insta that I follow that said “The Oilers will not be matching the offer sheets for Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway” and then I read the entire thing and became significantly less excited.

  7. Broberg is the prize here getting both would be great but I would be ok without Holloway

    As former Blues GM Larry Pleau used to say “you can never have too many defensemen”

  8. Have this horrible feeling Bowman will wait until the last minute to announce they’ve signed both players

  10. The more it looks like they aren’t gonna match, the more I think they will. I’m fully prepped for max emotional damage…it’s been a fun ride either way:-)

  13. Looking good, I don’t see why they’d wait until the last minute if they had matched.
