Anybody mad at them for chasing the money... is just stupid, Can't blame them at all. You sign the paper all day.


2mil for player that had 9 points isnt a good bet when youre up against the cap. Its great hes having a great year, but given the information you have at the time and where the oilers were on the cup window and cap situation...you walk away from the two offersheets. You dont let other teams set your contract prices for your prospects.

Don't give teams the opportunity to do so by lowballing them so hard they look elsewhere.

A 2M cap hit is nothing. It’s about as low risk as it gets. And you keep mentioning 9 points as if he was in a position to accumulate large quantities of points in Edm. It’s not about the total points he puts up. It’s about the quality of player he is and the fact that even given lower minutes in a depth role, he would have been quality depth.

again, he had 9 points last year and 2 mil puts the oilers over the cap.

He has a better situation in STL to grow than he did he EDM and has many more opportunities to play.

His future is incredibly bright. He's 3rd on the Blues with 32 points and has a motor that doesn't quit. His confidence seems to be through the roof. He has 13 points in his last 8 games including a hattrick vs Detroit. He's fun to watch.

I don't expect to see 20 offer sheets accepted each offseason, but I'm guessing more will be attempted than previous years.

Was a shockingly bad decision by the Oilers not to match.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

He didn't have the numbers, but I thought he was a dangerous player in the playoff last year. Glad he found a home in St. Louis

The Oilers are the oldest team in the league. They need to retain younger players on cost-controlled contracts. If you’re talking about cap issues, Holloway at $2M is not that.

we're doing fine.

 

[Zarzh]

No, I think it's time to admit that the interim GM did a horrible job and might have closed the cup window in a couple of weeks.
