Around the NHL - Part 1

Other Armstrong goes all on on the rarely used Offer Sheet. No idea why more GMs don't use this route?

What a kick to the nuts for the Oilers!

This must be the first time a team has offer-sheeted two players from the same team at the same time. Very interesting strategy.

Philip Broberg: 2 x $4,580,917 (compensation = 2nd)
Dylan Holloway: 2 x $2,290,457 (compensation = 3rd)

Dylan Holloway: 2 x $2,290,457 (compensation = 3rd)

The Oil is screwed.
Don't see how they can match both.
Slightly over the cap with 21 contracts without matching.
$7,225,541 over if they match with 23 contracts.
Trading Ceci isn't enough.
EKane has a questionable back.

They can sign Holloway and take a 2nd for Broberg. Then just claim the best LD off the waiver wire, like we did with Valimaki.

Take a mid 2nd for an 8oa...

It's a better deal than what we're going to get for the an 11 OA.

You did not just say that.

 

[Schemp]

They can sign Holloway and take a 2nd for Broberg. Then just claim the best LD off the waiver wire, like we did with Valimaki.

And still be over the cap with 22 contracts by about $2.6 M not counting the waiver add.

That's what you get when you add vets for 3 or 4 million a year (Skinner, Arvidson), rather than prioritize the young guys who got you to the Finals. Don't feel the least bit sorry for them.

They can let both skaters go and still be over the cap! LOL! Are they going to mandate that Kane get surgery? Trade Ceci for someone like Soderstrom and still require a draft asset to complete the deal?

 

[lanky]

It's kinda cool that after Bouchard and Barrie, the Oilers RD depth is Stecher, Brown and Emberson.

Barrie? Are we doing the time warp again?

Can't wait for camp to start. I'm getting tired of all the soap operas around the league!

I am curious what soap opera’s you are referring to. Can you give an example?

NOPE. We don't need that crap here! Keep it on the Free Agency & Trade board.

I just saw that Johnny gaudreau was killed in a bike accident. How terrible and wish his family the best!

Sad day for hockey world and Gaudreau's family. Great player and by all accounts he was even better person, life is very unfair. RIP

Rumour is spreading that the driver was drunk driving, truly horrible

The driver was arrested and charged with "causing death by auto" and there is indication of impairment but no confirmation of it since the required blood tests haven't been completed.

How awful, for the family and hockey in general. Just read about that, followed seconds later by reading that a woman about my age died at her cubicle at a Wells Fargo office in Tempe and wasn't found for 4 days *shudder*.

Supervisor neglect.
