Weak an extra free 3rd

lol why? f*** em

So Edmonton won't match Broberg and they shipped out Ceci with a draft pick?

An already suspect defensive corps only gets worse.

 

[Three On Zero]

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Guessing that EDM said they were gonna match unless they add some extra sweeteners.

 

[Colezuki]

Looks more like we’ll accept broberg if you don’t make this deal

 

[BKarchitect]

I guess it’s something. But it seems weak from the Oilers to say “we’ve made these moves so we can match Broberg, who is a key piece for us this year…unless you give us a 5th round college guy and a 3rd in 4 years”?

It’s hard to fathom that should be the difference between matching and not matching when you’ve already traded another blueliner who was getting top four minutes last year…seemingly to make the space to keep the other guy.

As a “threat” mechanism…I don’t see how the juice is worth the squeeze from the Oilers side.

Makes sense, curious to see what they do now.
They traded Ceci and let go of Broberg. I'm sure they have another deal for a defender.

Wait what.

Is this the first time a team has paid another team to not match an offer sheet?

Weak an extra free 3rd

Ah, but it stops St.Louis from offersheeting the next Holloway in August 2027! Oilers are planning ahead!

Paul Fischer sounds like a made up EA NHL player. I had to Google him to make sure he exists.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Ah, but it stops St.Louis from offersheeting the next Holloway in August 2027! Oilers are planning ahead!

Haha.

How many draft picks will the Oilers actually make between now and 2027? They’re going to have to acquire some more players for the next few cup runs. Wonder if either of these 2025 picks get made by the oilers next draft.

 

[Beauterham]

Paul Fischer is a nice prospect, certainly better than you expect from a 5th rounder. Not going to be a top pairing guy or whatever but he definitely has NHL upside.

We're stacked with LD's in our pipeline though, so I guess he was redundant.

Wait what.

No; the Flyers paid Tampa handsomely in 1997 in exchange for their commitment to not match the Chris Gratton (is that name still considered a profanity here?) offer sheet.

They agreed to a deal that sent back the compensatory picks for current players. If that deal wasn’t reached Tampa would have matched the OS and kept Gratton.

I've heard of stealing candy from a baby, but I've never heard of the thief feeling bad for the baby and giving a fraction of it back.

They’ll just trade for it back off of Edmonton. They’ll never see it coming.

I’d call it an olive branch

 

[hellstick]

Does this put the Blues at 50 contract spots?

 

[LTIR]

Who is Paul ? A potential NHLer?

 

[FlyguyOX]

How weird man
