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?

Of course it was them giving this jackass another job. Morally bankrupt.

Out of all the questionable choices Oilers Ownership group have made, this is certainly one of them.

I don't buy the "he has learned from this experience" malarkey. Standing up for what is right is a character trait, not a choice.

With the multiple allegations against each Katz and Kane...this is far from a surprise IMO

He'd like all the credit for three cups, but at the time of the allegation, according to him, he wasn't running the team, McDonough and Quennville were.

 

[Mobiandi]

There the Oilers go, being the most reprehensible org in the league again

 

[JPeeper]

Even ignoring all the bad stuff about Bowman away from hockey, he was never a good GM. He inherited a Dynasty core just like Holland did in Detroit.

Surprised they haven't fired Knobloch yet to hire Babcock or Quenville.

 

[Rubi]

Looks like most Oiler fans, like the rest of us, are baffled by this hire.

 

[Iggys Dome]

It seems Katz pushed for this hire. Alberta teams and meddling ownership, name a more iconic duo.

 

[joescores]

They signed Kane and traded for Perry. Are you still surprised? Toxic organisation.

Funny fact, I was once close to Perry when in Anaheim (watching Blackhawks/Hossa, 1st row behind the bench), I was polite greeting him and he wouldn't even acknowledge that- what an obnoxious c*unt.

Of course Oilers resigned him to another year.

The Versteeg and Buff deals were because Bowman f***ed up their qualifying offers, right?

That was Tallon. The bad trades were all Bowman though.

Draisaitl for Saad?

 

[Lunatik]

Sorry folks but joking about sexual assault just isn't funny, be better

 

[DomBarr]

My storybook outline for the next 8 months of the oilers
Draisatl extends 8x13.75 to set new forward benchmark
Bouchard extends 8x12.0 to set new defense benchmark
Skinners curse remains in place and the oilers finish 20th resulting in them trading 2025 13th OA for the 2024 32nd OA

the Blues have offersheeted BOTH Broberg & Holloway

edit:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1823353189531341275

both are literally the max in their compensation categories, 2nd for Broberg, 3rd for Holloway
