Confirmed with Link: Blues sign 2 Oilers to offer sheets!

[SirPaste]

Its not even 7 PM in Edmonton yet so still possible we hear something tonight but will likely be early tomorrow morning

 

[sfvega]

I think they match Broberg, but if they don't I'll be pleasantly surprised. Holloway is ours though.

Yes, it is. It's actually 7:46 right now in Edmonton. They're in MST.

 

[Majorityof1]

They can just tell the players they’re going to match. By waiting the entire week they force the Blues to kind of sit on their collective hands while they wait for a response.

What move are we missing out on at this point in the offseason? Especially tonight between 5pm PT to 7AM CT

Well I’ll be, I always thought they were WST. Why the hell do all our games out there always start at 9

I guess, but it’s pretty pointless. It’s not like they are holding the Blues back from making other moves, they are pretty much set other than these OSs

Edit: Great minds think alike @Blanick

Frank you better be right

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Do they? Its not like offer sheets are common. Carolina matched Aho the next day. Colorado matched RoR like hours later. Weber they took 6 days to match, but I'm not sure what hour they matched. Is there an example where they matched the morning of their deadline?

Colorado had to match ROR immediately or else he wouldn’t have been able to have been potentially traded by the trade deadline.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

My common sense agrees with you. My Blues fandom knows not to expect good things

2019 cured me of that.

 

[Memento]

2019 cured me of that.

2019 was like a manic/drug high (manic for me, never done drugs in my life, although I certainly would like to try a weed brownie, see if it tastes just as good as a chocolate one). Like, we're talking higher than f***ing Mars for me, and I still have the good memories. But like with all highs, the lows come, and they hit in such force that you want the high again, no matter what.

We all had such lows for our entire fandom until 2019, and that doesn't get cured easily. Right now...right now, getting Broberg and Holloway (even though, being a Blues fan, I wouldn't be surprised if we got neither) would be like a temporary high. Getting to the playoffs would be like another high. And winning it all, becoming a true dynasty with a good portion of our top-rated prospects hitting their marks...it would be higher than the sun, the moon, and all of the stars in the universe and multiverse.

I’m still expecting to wake up

Yeah man....sorry to break this to you, but the Blues have finished in last place the past five years, have selected #1 each year and then traded away all of those amazing players just to induce a collective nightmare.

Sorry.

Blues can still line up other trades. It doesn’t make the Blues sweat by waiting.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

If the deadline is truly early tomorrow morning, I think Edmonton didn’t match either guy. Kind of exciting. Training camp gets more interesting. It also means someone is in the way out.

Way to make this Oilers-relevant.

We have 22 pages of speculation and the oilers have 141

They keep spinning around and around. Like a record baby. round round round round.

 

[BleedBlue14]

That forward lineup gets very crowded if we get Holloway and Dvorsky really pushes to make the team.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Saad moved this season.

Not sure you really want to start Bolduc in the AHL this year, but may have to to get ice time.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

If that were to be the case, I would hope Army’s response would be that they can have our 2025 second as comp for the offer sheet.

No reason to pay extra.

I offer one Peter Chiarelli

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I suppose they could be waiting to announce for spite but I don’t think spite is a factor to the grownups outside of the internet, especially since the offseason basically over and waiting just means it’s that much longer that they can’t trade them a year from now should they so desire.

Perhaps they really are trying to work something out with Armstrong.

Zackly what I was thinkin'.

Zackly what I was thinkin'.

It was a couple of decades ago when Edm opted to not match the Corson OS, then turned around and sent those picks back to STL for Cujo and Grier. Crazy if something like that occurs between these same 2 franchises again.

Would be f***ing hilarious if Edmonton trades for Saad.

Schenn Thomas Neighbors
Kyrou Buchnevich Snuggerud
Holloway Faksa Bolduc
Toropchenko Sundqvist Texier/Joseph


It’s crowded and then some

It's been mentioned over at HFOilers.

Just the memes of Bowman being obsessed with Saad would be the best thing in the NHL for a bit.
