Probably, but no worries Blues wont reach in looooong time Stanley Cup finals.Does Broberg have the balls to tell his coach to give him some ice in OT in the Stanley Cup Finals because he's going to score the game winner?

I’m guessing that this is exactly what Army was thinking when he made the offer.If Leddy were 6'4.
He doesn't process game at Leddy's level, but he has barely any NHL reps. I'd like to see what he could do with consistent top 4 minutes on his natural side for an extended period. I anticipate that over time the game will begin to slow down for him, allowing his talent to flourish. He and Jiricek could be quote a shutdown pair in time.
I think it’s early morning on Tuesday. 7:30 am central?I expect that we’ll start getting a more clear view of the outcome of these offer sheets tomorrow.
Do we know by what time on Tuesday the offer sheets have to be matched? I assume it’s based on what time we made the offers, say like 11am Mountain Time, I wouldn’t think it’s some 11:59pm deadline tomorrow for the Oilers as if they were submitting a college paper?
I'm not going to be too down about it if Edmonton matches both. Sounds like Army has some other things in the works.Its nice that any possible outcome, there is really nothing that hurts the Blues. Similarly, there is no really good outcome from any of those options for Edmonton.
I also like the use of the offer sheet. I'd like to see these used around the league more often. Its better for the players, better for competitive balance, and better for improving contract negotiations in general.
Pretty sure we can sign at any time so long as we have the proper compensation picksIf both of these scenarios fall through, then is there still a window to offer sheet someone else? Or is there a limit to how many players you can offer sheet?
If there are unsigned RFAs and the Blues have the needed picks for compensation, then I dont think there is anything preventing them from signing. In theory, if Edmonton matched on Holloway but not on Broberg, the Blues would still have a 1st and 3rd that could be used to sign an RFA in either the 1st and 3rd compensation range (up to 6.871M) or the 3rd round compensation range.If both of these scenarios fall through, then is there still a window to offer sheet someone else? Or is there a limit to how many players you can offer sheet?
Edmonton traded for Podkolzin. We are definitely getting Holloway at a minimum.
Of all the things I thought I’d see, the Oilers adding another player before deciding was not on the list.Edmonton traded for Podkolzin. We are definitely getting Holloway at a minimum.
I did, but I thought it was going to be a RD and they'd bring back Holloway.Of all the things I thought I’d see, the Oilers adding another player before deciding was not on the list.
In other words, they've decided.Of all the things I thought I’d see, the Oilers adding another player before deciding was not on the list.
They could still match both. Podkolzin costs $1M against the cap. That is less than the cap relief you get for burying a contract. I would say it indicates they are replacing Holloway, but the cap amount is so minor it could be they just thought Pod was worth a 4th and would help when they move Kane and whoever else to sign Holloway/Broberg.They still could match Broberg, so need to wait and see on him.
