i am sad that st louis sweetened here. i would have absolutely called their bluff. as soon as the oilers showed any wilingness to deal them to me it signals they had moved on from those players. a team that wants those players is not picking up the phone.
for me broberg is going to be a disaster at that cap and holloway a steal. not sure if they will offset.
also, in the end, moving ceci was unnecessary unless it was just to be in a position to bluff for the extra 3rd rounder.
so i wonder if bowman took the opportunity to move ceci because he wanted to do that anyway. it is hard to make changes in a game 7 scf lineup.
or did they change their mind on broberg halfway through the week? if so, who changed their mind and why? did mcdavid decide he didn't want those guys back in the room? did bowman identify a plan b?
on the plan b note, i wonder if giardano gets signed shortly.
