Not used to this much hockey hype in mid August

 

[Stealth JD]

Army did it.

Now - he’s got a lot of players for Bannister to try to shoehorn into the line-up. Wonder if we can recoup some draft picks by moving some veterans as we approach the TDL.

 

[Kylester]

TSN saying it's pretty much a done deal!

Oilers unlikely to match on Broberg, Holloway

[Reality Czech]

Leddy - Parayko
Suter - Faulk
Broberg - Kessel

LFG!

Switch Broberg and Suter. Makes a lot more sense that way. Suter can be a good veteran influence on Kessel and Broberg gets a chance to really show what he's got.

Blues acquire Broberg, Holloway from Oilers | St. Louis Blues

Oilers decline to match offer sheets; Blues also trade pick, Fischer to Edmonton

About as official as it gets.

In a separate transaction, St. Louis is sending its 2028 third-round draft pick and unsigned 2023 fifth-round draft selection Paul Fischer to Edmonton for future considerations.

[Snubbed4Vezina]

WHAT THE f***?!

 

[Linkens Mastery]

WHAT THE f***?!

Extra comp for the Oilers to not Match.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

What is up with that???

There was talk that the Oilers may need a sweetener to be convinced to not match the contracts. I'm assuming this was the sweetener.

 

[StLewis11]

Savage, genius & awesome move by Armstrong

 

[The Note]

It’s worth a shot if nothing else

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So, 2025 2nd, 2025 3rd, 2028 3rd, and Paul Fischer for Broberg and Holloway.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Don't like giving up Fischer, but whatever, still a good deal in totality.

 

[stl76]

Extra comp for the Oilers to not Match.

So send Gaudet or some shit. I like P. Fischer :-/

 

[SirPaste]

This is awesome, I thought we might get one but didn't expect both. Even at the extra cost of P Fischer and a 28 3rd this is great for the Blues

 

[HarryTaint97]

What would the full lineup look like now?

And do these 2 additions get the gears turning on a potential bigger trade?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

A 2028 3rd rounder is like what, 10 years from being an impact player? Crazy lol

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Fischer could end up being a solid bottom pairing D-man but there's always players like that available.

Consider it an olive branch after taking two of Edmonton's few young players.

 

[Majorityof1]

Got a little more expensive at the end, but I'm fine with it if that was the price to get Edmonton not to match. It still is a little less value add from going this route. We are overpaying on AAV and now adding more assets. But our 16th ranked prospect and a 3rd rounder 4 drafts from now is a small add.

 

[Dr Robot]

As far as real money + draft picks go, overall i think this was a slight overpay. I’m still fine with it though, Army is aggressive in trying to improve the team which has more value to me than an extra third rounder.

 

[SirPaste]

What would the full lineup look like now?

Lines will vary but something like

Neighbours - Thomas - Kyrou
Holloway - Buch - Saad
Bolduc - Schenn - Joseph
Texier - Faksa - Toropchenko
ex. Kapanen, Walker
Sunny likely to start on IR


Leddy - Parayko
Broberg/Suter - Faulk
Broberg/Suter - Kessel
ex. POJ, Perunovich
