Blues Tender Offer Sheets to Broberg and Holloway of the Oilers
Well, I didn’t see these happening this late in the summer.

let them go!
The offer sheets are both for 2 years so not only is it difficult for the Oilers to keep them this season (they are already over the cap not including Kane who likely goes on LTIR), but next year when they re-sign Draisaitl. Even if they keep Holloway this year, they will have to shed cap when Kane comes off LTIR. If they let them both go, they're still capped out and short players for this season (11 forwards not including Kane and 7 D). Which ever way you slice it, there is a tough decision to make.
Let them both walk and collect your picks. Use the picks at the deadline for Broberg/Holloway replacements.
Are you at the Flock party in anahiem??
Compensation structure needs to change
I guess it's ok for the blues when they have no RFA anyone will offersheet as payback
As a nucks fan ive never felt more conflicted you just gotta love to see the oilers take Ls
Why am I ghosted? I did nothing wrong! -.-
I let them both go. If they don't want to play for the Oilers, who won't pay them, Oilers shouldn't want them on their team. By the way, this is a brilliant move by the Blues.
Holloway can go, hes a good player but the oilers dont need him. Losing Broberg hurts A LOT, hes going to be a very good dman.
Quite a pickle but u know… Utah for an example has ungodly amount of cap space 😀 dump Evander Kane there and keep Broberg
Match both, get cap compliant, annihilate St. Louis in every possible way during the season as revenge for the stress these offer sheets create. Absolutely disgusted
As a hockey fan, let them both go. This would affect resigning Draisaitl. As a Stars fan, screw em. Sign them both!
This is what they get for paying for offense instead of defense. You're supposed to take care of the in-house stuff first. Welcome to the taint Bowman.
This should be more common. Makes the teams more honest to the young guys! Sign me or someone might.
That shirt and hat combo is incredible
In the past, you've mentioned an offseason salary cap ~110% of the regular season salary cap… (based on puckopedia) they're already about 9% over the season salary cap… so even with Kane going on LTIR to start they still need to move money equivalent to either offer in order to match either offer and stay under that 110% offseason cap, right?
Based off outfit alone, Ducks win the offer sheet war?
Sees video on offer sheets. Goes to Cap Friendly to see who the Oilers might trade to be able to match. Crickets…
If Im the Oilers I simply let them walk and turn the picks you receive into a deadline add maybe dump off some cap as well in the meantime, this is a cup roster where every player is needed and money is important, and either price tag is simply too much for what they would be on their roster. I think the asset management is poor by St.Louis, Holloway is a decent add and for a 3rd that’s a decent deal and he would be the only one if I was the oilers I’d consider matching. Trading down 2 rounds for 3 to 5 just to get your second back to offer to a guy who played 10-15 games in the NHL last year and pay him close to 5 is merely a bet on a player that aside from flashes hasn’t worked out, and your setting that price that if he does work out your going higher than 5 on him, I don’t think bribery is worthy of a 2nd and 3rd to acquire and surprised you couldn’t have gotten him cheaper than that from Edmonton for his rights straight up. The smart move for Edmonton would be to take the 2bd for Broberg and move forward with what you have, Holloway was good and could have seen an increased role but you picked up Skinner who will eat those promotion minutes up. Overall, St.Louis overpays in the hope they turn out better than they project and the Oilers receive some draft capital to use to strengthen the roster down the stretch. Penguins make out like bandits for basically no effort, interesting to see these caliber of played be where they make this happen. Biggest winner, Darren Ferris (Brobergs agent) getting that kind of contract for the caliber of player you represent is a heist.
Shannon, I'm curious about the most successful seasons players have had after being signed out of training camp. Make the video, video man!
If I was the Oilers I’d let them walk take the picks. It’s an overpayment on two guys that might not even be good the Oilers plan was to have these two on cheap deals and play it out and see how good they become. The Blues are overpaying and I don’t think it’s worth it for the Oilers. The Oilers got Savoie that can play for cheap that fixes the Holloway situation and the D looks bad now but it can be fixed rumours are to bring Barrie back lol but the Oilers played majority of the season and playoffs without Broberg so I think they could pull it off again. Let them walk take the picks.
That is an awesome shirt
Love the duck hat. I'm sure the Oilers are going to take some time and plan what they want to do. Options: Accept and clear some cap somewhere. Decline and wave goodbye. Look for a deal to move one or the other (or both) in a sign and trade type of scenario. I'm sure they will be taking their time on the latter two.
I think that was a smart move by STL. The LTIR thing for Kane sounds about right, as his play seems to have been affected by something over the past season.
