Probably a lot more crazies to deal with too though. Would have about 25% of the posters on block which would make it easier to get through.
As I said the lines will vary depending on chemistry and how things work out in camp etc, but I think Holloway is an option for either the 2nd/3rd line and his speed could be a good asset with Buch. I don't know how they will end up but I would be very surprised if he is on the 4th line.

I really like Holloways game. He seems like a buffed up prototypical Blues player. If he can be a sponge/adaptable like Neighbors it’s very likely he’s a staple on the team for a long time to come.

Yep. It would be great to have the two on the same line. Two Calgary kids knocking everyone out of the way...

Wow! This is a good morning for sure, I’m excited to see how both players grow (especially Broberg) with the playing time we can offer, and Bannister will be a good coach for their development I think.
I don’t like paying the additional 2028 3rd round pick, Paul Fischer is whatever. But overall a 2nd and 2 3rds and prospect for these guys is much less than a direct trade would have been for them.

In my head he felt like a step up from Toropchenko and a step down from Neighbours talent wise but similar types of players.
I think he’ll be a very likable player to watch.

The Oilers D has gotten much worse the past week. What a shame.
The main thing for Holloway is to stay healthy. He had a variety of injuries since turning pro, and it really messed with his development. He has speed, and is strong/big enough to play. Also showed some hands in college, though nothing jaw dropping. Jury is out on whether he can learn to process the game at the NHL level... missing all those games didn't help. I've watched a lot of him playing for the Badgers, and kept track of him since.
Don't know what to say about Broberg. He's got the NHL body, and some tools, for sure, but I thought EDM was crazy to draft him so early when Zegras and Boldy were sitting there. A gamble, but one that won't kill your team as it's only a two year term.

For St. Louis....do you have any idea what Neighbours, Peronuvich and Joseph will be asking for at the end of the year on the year based on Holloway and Brobergs contracts?
Imagine a non-playoff team in cap trouble

Perunovich and POJ both likely won't be here, Neighbours will likely get a bridge deal. These deals won't have any effect on them. Blues have plenty of cap room to play with and not planning on being so in the immediate future so the cap hits aren't an issue at all.

Neighbours is the only one that would hold any consequence. Could agents point towards two outliers as comparable? Sure, but it's not going to do them much good. Armstrong has always been very prudent.
I wouldn't be shocked if the Blues gave Neighbors 8 years, but I also wouldn't be shocked if we gave him a bridge as it's probably in the best interest for both parties.
Perunovich and Joseph are so inconsequential I would hope somebody would offer sheet them. I'd doubt either are qualified, if Perunovich is even able to be so.
I think it's extremely overblown that teams are going to target the Blues young players. If the Blues are dumb enough to be cap strapped and then go out and buy multiple players on top of that and leave themselves vulnerable, sure they will be attacked, but so will every team. The only concern I would have over the situation is that the cost for RFAs will go up significantly and we wont se the 2 x 1.5-3m contracts throughout the league on guys as bridges as much anymore. But that's not team specifiic.
It would be so devious if Oil threw offer sheet at peru or POJ. Not sure how we could recover if they stole one of these key pieces from us.
They usually stream it on their app, probably will post a youtube link on twitter/FB as well

Absolute heist by DA. Glad he came through for all of us who stood by him. Took some stones, but perfectly executed offer sheets.
You should try. It’s absolute gold. I hope that thread never disappears

You don’t want to offer sheet Perunovich and we would love for you to do it!
No concerns on Neighbours or Joseph either.
It’s recalibrating the rising core so that a lot of the talent is synchronized for their prime years. We will have a young group that can grow together, seasoned with a few veterans. O’Reilly, Schenn and Bouwneester were all trade acquisitions after the nucleus was there.
This time around instead of 1C they’ll need to find a top pairing defender on the market. Not every piece is accounted for yet, but the timing of the next rise to contender status is a lot clearer and a lot more plausible. These were both good additions. They are guys that need ice time and a chance to grow on the job, not a luxury most top contenders can afford young players, but the Blues can at the moment.

I am listening to Broberg. He sounds "excited," his word. You can definitely tell he doesn't have the best english. Repeating the same phrases a lot. "Very excited" "Better everyday" "Excited to meet new teammates"
