We clearly didn’t want to keep Hayes so I’m not sure why you’re acting like he matters. We got Joseph, Texier and Faksa all for nothing, and they all fit into our style of play much better. Plus the first two are still pretty young.
Sure, but then we're back to including that they significantly overpaid Broberg and Holloway from what they were asking for.
Cap flexibility for an upgrade. I don't imagine the Oilers are done here. Expect those St. Louis draft picks to belong to someone else relatively soon.
I am talking about the money.
Honestly that’s generally not how Armstrong operates. If somebody isn’t a fit in STL, he will find them a new home in the NHL if they are an NHL player, rather than making them ride the bus in the minors. Even if we don’t get any value from moving them.
It's possible but this is more of a move for the future to help bring in some younger guys to match the core's age. They are still a bubble team, only missed out by 6 points last season and they are definitely improved, so with some more improvement from the young guys its possible they sneak in but certainly not a contender or anything yet.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
If Kane still goes on LTIR I’m guessing this gives them the room to possibly bring someone in during the season.
See a lot of analysts suggest a 2nd is not enough for Broberg in a trade value. So when i look at it all a 2nd + 3rd + 3rd for Broberg Holloway and a 5th.
No, it’s not. I mean given the situation, I guess so…but losing two young players in the system is pretty brutal.
Sorry, I meant for the Blues.
