Edmonton is also stupid for not negotiating a trade.They tried that before the offer sheets. Edmonton turned them down. Whoops.
Both teams f***ed themselves into a lose lose situation.

The answer wasn’t paying broberg 4,5.You've literally lost your entire right side since July 1st. None of what has transpired, has been the right call.
I mean my God look at your Dcorp, it may be bottom 5.
I guess may as well get used to it once McDrai and Bouchard are eating 40 million in cap, along with that anchor in Nurse, there's gonna be a lot of bargain bin shopping.
And if the money didn't matter why did Armstrong not eat 50% and save a 2nd round pick?
Sure it will hurt giving up the bright lights of Edmonton, the city that never sleeps, but they will adapt no doubt.Enjoy "Sleepy" St. Louis Blues boys, and competing for premium tee times vs a 'Championship
Hayes at his current cap hit is reasonable (Philly is still paying 50% of his salary).So what you're saying is having players at an inflated cap hit can be an inhibitor to acquriring players in the future??
So for example, Broberg and Holloway being paid 3.8 mill more a year than they were asking for could be an inhibitor of acquiring players in the future?

Lmao. This is a horrible take. I hope you don’t think losing Foegele made us “less mean.” I like the player and all, but Arvidsson plays with way more tenacity and grit than Foegele. Foegele can write a masterclass on how to look physical on the forecheck without actually hitting the entire player. Thats not questioning the effectiveness, he’s a great forechecker, but he intimidates no one.
Would have preferred to keep Holloway, but I guess this was about cap compliance with the thought that Kane won’t be out for long.
When we traded Ceci I was worried because I figured we were matching Broberg. I like Broberg, but not at that money.
There are question marks with our D for sure, still hoping we got something brewing there, but explain to me how we’re cooked? Top PP, above average PK (Emberson will replace VD seamlessly), best top 6/top 9 in the league:
Nuge-McD-Hyman
Skinner-Drai-Arvidsson
Kane-Henrique-Brown
Yep, looks cooked to me.
The blues significantly overpaid contract wise, and have now hampered themselves in future negotiations with RFAs.Blues weren’t in a lose-lose situation.
lol that's amazing salt. as if these guys weren't offered way less to stay or are 37 with one last shot at the Cup. actual lolEnjoy "Sleepy" St. Louis Blues boys, and competing for premium tee times vs a 'Championship
Am I the only one why sees the irony of someone with your name talking about the Oilers D? Talk about living rent free. You likely want Oiler failure as much or more than Leaf success.What an awesome day! Thank you St.Louis and fans, you’ve done a wonderful thing today.
Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Kulak
Emberson-Stecher
Gotta be bottom 3?![]()

So? Can't want both?Am I the only one why sees the irony of someone with your name talking about the Oilers D? Talk about living rent free. You likely want Oiler failure as much or more than Leaf success.
Not bashing the Edmonton metropolitan area as I am sure there are fun things to do there, but St. Louis metro area has about 1.3 million more people than Edmonton.Enjoy "Sleepy" St. Louis, boys and competing for premium tee times vs a Championship
It’s honestly realllllly close.Am I the only one why sees the irony of someone with your name talking about the Oilers D? Talk about living rent free. You likely want Oiler failure as much or more than Leaf success.
Once again.Surely you can see the difference between overpaying a washed up guy like Hayes and two young guys who haven't even reached their potential yet. Once again, what are you trying to prove here?
Wonder what Edmonton does with their new 900kish cap space
Your team couldn’t even win against a team with Charlie Coyle as their #1 CI mean to be fair, they also had their opposing teams lose their best players at perfect times.
Vancouver would have finished the job with Demko/Boeser etc

They don’t get Broberg and Holloway at the prices you listed.Once again.
hayes 50% retained=1.7 mill
Broberg asking price=1.8 mill
Holloway asking price=1.2 mill
Total: 4.7 mill AAV
Actual result
Broberg: 4.6 mill
Holloway: 2.2 mill
6.8 mill
Same players on the team, one ends with you having an extra 2.1 mill a year to spend on these future acquisitions you speak of.
Wasted money is wasted money regardless of where it is.
