Bowman has a history with being an idiot with his RFA's dating back to Chicago's first cup run & having to overpay Versteeg & everyone because he didn't file on time.
Wasn't that Tallon?

Actually Tallon took the hit because he waited too long to go forward but it was one of the underlings that messed it up filing too late in the day I believeWasn't that Tallon?
So Dubas has added Hayes and Glass as cap dumps to gain an extra 2nd and 3rd. Sid's final year (or more) not going to end with much winning.Every cap dump we see makes the Mikheyev deal look better.
That's a risky gamble because it basically means they're screwed unless Kane stays on LTIR all season. Which could happen, sure but then they have space come the trade deadline when this may be the last season they can truly go "all in."
It's a damn beautiful offer sheet, and I love Oiler fans thinking they can just punt Ceci out for free to fix it.
We're at D+7 or D+8 and he's a bust. He might be able to pull out a career as a 3C but even that isn't a sure thing. Previous value is totally null at this point in his careerMan, Glass' stock really has plummeted.
nmcThey have to be thinking of moving that albatross. Perhaps they'll figure out a way?
Immediate reaction to this is that dumping Ceci shouldn't be too difficult.Every cap dump we see makes the Mikheyev deal look better.
Not a fan at all but given its the Oilers and their off season where they already lost 2 fast young players in Foegele and McLoed wholy hell is this entertaining.Offer sheets are awesome. I wished they'd happen more often. Furthermore, it's hilarious it impacts the Oilers.

Foegele Mcloed Holloway Broberg for Arvidsson Skinner Henrique Gleason
More heavy lifting for McDrai sounds great
Glass is an interesting move. Would have liked him before last year but after finally looking like he could keep up he hurts his knee and is was back to being too slow to make any discernible impact. At 2.5 that's not good especially if he's on the wing.
yeah it's pretty naive of them to think these guys wouldn't be offer sheet targets, but knuckle dragging through the off-season, haggling over what i can only assume is 1-2M total cap hit between the two players' demands...only to lose picks in a ceci trade is pretty hilarious. part of this is probably due to the transition period between jeff jackson and stan bowman, but it falls on both of them for inaction.Immediate reaction to this is that dumping Ceci shouldn't be too difficult.
Also for Army, EDM isn't in a position to strike back, like STL/VAn with Backes/Bernier. Or Mon/Car with Aho/KK. Edm needs every single dollar with McDrai if they can extend them. Can't be playing revenge games with OS. Plus, he's gone when these 2 guys need a new contract.
what do they have to gain from getting poolman? they'd just be acquiring dead salary.Does Alvin look into whether Edmonton would now be interested in acquiring Poolman?
Who knows . Holloway has no arbitration rights. Anaheim historically grinded their elc guys who didn’t warrant a long term deal be it Ryan, Terry, etc. to get that 3rd year. maybe Edm was trying to do the same with Holloway. This allows him 2 years to develop his game and come back for a new deal. Just never know with contracts. Edm was right to the cap anyways so we’re likely needing to get deals on their rfas. But even as an rfa i would tell Edm to shove it back to wherever they stashed Campbell, Neal, etc. not taking less caused you messed up in other players.Man, when I heard Blues and offer sheet, I had flashback to the Backes and Bernier thing. That was an interesting time.
I don't get why Holloway signed his. I wouldn't think they were too far off in money, the Oilers would gladly match. Broberg for sure they will walk away from.
The teams that can't manage the salary cap, are the first ones to claim 'that it doesn't matter'. For years in Vancouver, Benning handed out UFA contracts like Halloween candy.....and for most of the last decade the team had an unenviable reputation. As a team spending to the salary cap max every year, they produced the worst on-ice results for the highest payroll.It’s hilarious to see some of the oilers fans who said shit like “cap doesn’t matter” (we’ve been down that road before as well) going quiet all of a sudden.
Unfortunately for them, reality and cap space doesn’t care about their opinions.
Here’s to another decade of Oilers misery.
perhaps but either way the Oilers lose depth and cap flexibility moving forward. Music to my ears.Immediate reaction to this is that dumping Ceci shouldn't be too difficult.
