Around the NHL - 2024-25 season.

[Rubi]

Are the Oilers forward Dylan Holloway and dman Philip Broberg prime offer sheet candidates? Both are RFA's who currently aren't under contract and the Oilers are at the moment $2.4m over the cap limit with all the signings they've done in the past few days (Skinner, Arvidsson, Henrique, Perry, Janmark, Brown, Stecher, Picard). Unless the new Oilers GM can dump a contract or two he's going to have a difficult time finding the $$ to sign these two... even at $1m each.

not really cause neither are remotely worth the $4 to 4.5 M AAV on a 5yr contract that would make the Oilers pause on matching.

Perhaps but do the Oilers have enough money to even match $3m AAV per player? That's $6m plus the $2.4m they are in the hole with now... Where do they find $8.4m in savings to get under the cap limit?
I say offer both players $3m x 3 yrs. The Oilers might be able find the money to match one but I doubt they can do both.

Christ, Mony is saying he signed his healthy 5+ mil x5 contract with Columbus due to his appreciation to city being family oriented and Don Waddell being a very progressive type of GM.

YAWN

A good one Mony!

That Vegas forward core is starting to look real shaky already on paper. I think we might get lucky in 2026

Vegas isn't the type of team to go quietly. Another big move from them is coming whenever they can find a way to upgrade.

They are painting themselves further and further into a corner
I just don't know if this year, or next will be worse?
