I would walk away from Broberg

A few good playoff games doesn't make him worth $9M+ ($4.5M+ AAV) over next two years

Agree, match Holloway offer and take the 2nd for Broberg. I don't love the Oil's D with Broberg and like it less w/o him, but 4.5 per for Broberg is terrible value and you can add a D at the trade deadline and not be locked into Broberg (especially if the playoffs was more small sample size mirage) when you are trying to sign Driasatl to a raise starting next season.

A sale of the Bolts for close to $2 billion is apparently being worked on.

Lightning working on sale with value close to $2B

According to multiple sources, the Tampa Bay Lightning have begun a multi-stage sale process that will value the team at close to $2 billion.

That isn't good IMO

Vinik buying Lightning was best thing for organization and is what set them on path of success after the Koules/Barrie shitshow

And while article says he will have say in coming years even with sale there have been too many times that situations like that have gone south

Um,, What are Preds doing?

Seems like Pens got a great haul for the price of nothing

Preds have to clear cap
 
More teams should work the offer sheets just to screw over divisional rivals. Looking at ours, and Dallas would be ripe for it. We don’t have the picks (missing the third), but someone should take a run at Harley.

Just over 9 million for a couple of years would only cost a first, second and third for a big, mobile D. Dallas would still match is my guess, but it would cost them someone like Marchment, weakening their depth. That’s what should be done anyways when a team is lowballing a high profile RFA, and Dallas only has 4.6 million in space.

I'd love it if it became a thing and Harley is absolutely a guy you gamble on.

Didn't Harley break out last year? Dallas fans and media in general was singing his praises. Getting him would be a major scoop, but no way Dallas let's him go.

Although yes it would be super nice to see us go aggressive in these situations.

I don’t understand why there aren’t offer sheets all over the place in this league. Everyone is too nice. Either you get the valuable young player or you force a team’s hand into a contract they’re maybe not ready for and further limit their cap space.

You have to overpay fairly significantly to acquire the player via a sheet....ie Broberg is a guy that signing him to 2 years @ 3 per would raise eyebrows much less the 4.5 St Louis sheeted him at. If you'r pro scouting dept is off on their evaluation...you are stuck with potentially a boat anchor (and Broberg at 2 years is on the lower end of the term commitment most sheets involve. Second you have to have the cap space and draft picks which knocks out probably 3/4ers of the league from being able to offer a guy like Broberg 4.5 look around the league at who has 4.5 in cap space and then which of those teams have their 2nd and 3rd rounders.
