You know he got back to wherever he was staying that night and realized, "That f***er got blood on my shirt!"

I'm honestly a little surprised he hasn't told that story from his perspective during one of his stints with our broadcast crew.

Oh God! I’d be mortified!

I thought about seeing if I could message him on Twitter but what do you even say??! If anyone from the team actually reads this forum please tell Jon I’m very sorry for getting blood on him over a decade ago

Blues tender offer sheet to Edmonton's Broberg, Holloway | St. Louis Blues

ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today that the Blues have tendered offer sheets to Edmonton Oilers defenseman Philip Broberg and forward Dylan Holloway. The Oilers have seven days to exercise their right of first refusal on...

Check out the balls on Dougie!!!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Doug you f***ing madman

 

[bleedblue1223]

Holy ****!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Whether it works out or not, gotta respect the balls on Army

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Holy shit! Army's going to WAR with the Western Conference champs!

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Woah

No way Edm can match both

^^^done in order to make the offer sheet for Broberg possible. I’m assuming the 3rd in the deal is Ottawa’s.

Compensation for Broberg = 2025 2nd
Compensation for Holloway = 2025 3rd

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

I'm pretty confident that Broberg and Holloway would have significantly more value to the Blues this season than those draft picks. Good move, Doug.

Be sure to subscribe for more hot takes.

They've gotta be very careful here with Draisaitl and McDavid's deals looming. Very careful.

Holy f***. That’s the last thing I expected to see this morning.

I’m fascinated to see not only if those go through, but what happens next if they do. The roster could be getting quite crowded, especially on the blueline. I think the Blues must think there’s a good chance Krug misses the season but even if he does, adding Broberg would still push someone else out - potentially both Perunovich and Tucker. And I get if people don’t care about those 2, but it’s just interesting.

Similarly up front with adding Holloway, that feels like it would end the possibility of Dvorsky or Dean landing a spot out camp, unless this accelerates the process of trading a guy like Saad.

Thought these next few weeks would be boring but things are only getting started! The oven is ready to cook.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

So who are our top RFA’s we need to worry about the next couple years? Neighbours? Lol

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I mean I respect the balls it took to make these moves, but 4.5 per for Broberg is crazy.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Gotta think no way do we do this if Holland was still there. This is kind of calculated move you don’t do to friends. This is cold. This is a welcome back, a$$hole to Bowman. I love it.

 

[Itsnotatrap]

Not sure what EDM could actually do to retaliate any time in the visible horizon, so long as they hold down the big stars at the top.

With that concern somewhat mitigated, I’ll need to rely on you guys for what the upside on both truly looks like at this point but it’s a very coherent move to take to make a move on legitimate young talent while we coast along here in a sort of NHL purgatory.

Frankly, you haven’t seen me here a lot. I still watch a decent bit, but I’ve been emotionally detached to rage post or anything and there isn’t much to celebrate either. We’re just kinda there trying to see where the winds will take us….aging curves pulling us one direction vs the promises of the draft picks the other.

This kind of move intrigues me, and pulls me in a little more, because it’s the organization trying to grab reigns of the direction a little more assertively, so I love that part of this.

Armstrong retirement tour is just starting

Retaliation from Edmonton seems highly unlikely as they're going to be expending all of their managerial muscle to field a competitive team once they hand out record deals to McDavid and Draisaitl.
