I just think he wants Broberg. Halloway is a decoy almost. Bro has shown some upside and worth the 2nd round pick. If he doesn't pan out, well you lose 2nd round pick and you only have him for 2 years

But the upside is great.

Yeah, I'm sure the Holloway is to put more hurt into it.

If one had the space, I'd be comfortable targeting Broberg.
From what I read about his time in the minors was by far their best (not sure he cooled down) and was dominant in games.

Applying what I've read here about what the Leafs would have to offer for a young, middle pairing defender who 6'4", 212 lb. just turned 23 ... Liljegren, Robertson and a 2nd.

If they get him for a 2nd., and I don't think they will, that would be a steal.

Oilers will keep him and put Kane on LTIR, and work out other mitigation.

I think the Blues would be happy to have one or both of Holloway and Broberg at the respective compensation.

I don't think the Oilers will be willing to let Broberg go. Despite his lack of NHL experience he's seemed ready to me for the last 2 years. Add in his position and play style and it's easy to see why they should match. They went a little overboard with the forward depth and shouldn't prioritize maintaining it at the cost of losing a player who imo would be a much more valuable asset going forward than any depth forwards.
In the end, it is of course their call, but that's how i see it.

Interesting approach from the Blues. Also, how many offer sheets can an team offer/sign at once?

As many as they have the picks to cover which i believe is 3.
Not sure if 4th+ round picks are ever considered offer sheet compensation worthy but I don't believe so.

It will be interesting to watch TJ Brodie this season and see if he can regain a good level.

That was one thing that badly hurt our team last year.

Going into the season he was easily our second best D and by the end of the season basically getting healthy scratched.

Absolute fumble f*** from the Oilers leaving Broberg and Holloway unsigned this long. I'm not entirely sold on Holloway, but JJ/Bowman dropped the ball having Broberg sitting there. Money was there to sign the player with a Kulak or Ceci trade, not a good start for Stan.

The compensation is peanuts here too, good move from the Blues. Would love to see more of it.

His legs are done. He hasn't aged well and can't see him rebounding

I hope this leads to more players signing OS if management is not negotiating fast enough.
 
If I were a manager on another team who needed some offense, I’d offer Robertson a $2.2 mil OS. Compensation is only a 3rd.

Yeah it would definitely be smart. But I wonder if these offersheets mainly happened because its Stan bowman runnning the show now. People might not really care if they step on his toes and piss him off.

If Robertson wants out wouldn't signing an Offer Sheet be a risky move for him?

It could be... but then at least he'd control his potential destination. He has no control now. The Leafs can just let him sit if they want, and he'd be unlikely to get $2.2.

True enough but it could also get stuck in a place he doesn't want to be for an extended time.

What are the odds Leafs match $2.2? For a guy who apparently doesn't want to be here?
Click to expand...
No idea, that's the risk the player takes.
Could be they value him higher than a 3rd so will match and try and work out a move later with a better return.
