Why not wait for a credible source?

He’s probably right, but he’s still speculating instead of reporting facts.

Yeah, that why the header of this thread is rumour

Armstrong to Broberg

Congrats to the Blues for marginally improving your team but making every GM hate you

Congrats Blues. Well played.

Or does Army get high 5s for screwing over Bowman? Doubt every GM will hate Armstrong after this but they may give him the "we're not worthy" treatment at the next GM meetings.

Why would every GM hate them?? That makes no sense.

That broberg offer was fair and around what hes worth

He is being paid for potential by the blues who can take that risk and type of deal where they overpay him by 3M in hopes he breaks out and is worth the deal, and if not he isnt a LT contract so can move on in 2 years

Based on Brobergs NHL career 1.1-1.5M on a 2 year deal is what he deserved

Can't imagine Armstrong gives a crap, he's retiring soon enough anyway, and that enmity generally doesn't follow the franchise; it sticks with the GM (at least, that's what happened with the Flyers and the Weber OS; we've made a bunch of trades with Nashville since then, but only after Homer left, IIRC.)

Also overpaying so that you had to dump hayes as well.

2nd+2nd+3rd+3rd for Broberg and Holloway. Should have just negotiated with edmonton and got a more reasonable AAV

 

[JPT]

Matching broberg would just have them kick the problem down the road , maybe they are trying to be pro-active and save themselves the cap headache down the line

Sure, but usually teams right in the middle of their cup window will be willing to take cap risks. In the long run it'll probably work out better for Edmonton to not match.

“Every GM” meaning only the Oilers GM? Lmao. Nobody else cares that we screwed you guys over but keep coping I guess.

It's August.

 

[herzausstein]

Interesting... so was moving ceci due to plans that E. Kane will not be going to LTIR or are they planning something else?

Can we say LOWBALL?

 

[LuGBuG]

So certain Oilers fans told us Broberg sucks, then he was good after Ceci trade, now can’t wait to see spin zone number 3. (not all fans I’ve seen some very rational ones as well.

Kind of a slap in the face to both players.

I dunno. When I see a colleague do something ballsy, I usually give them a fist pump.

Because they are overpaying for mediocre players
