Holloway signed the offer sheet and knew the risk. But an inexperienced agent with no NHL clients was quite possibly out of his depth in terms of gaging risk involved.
Not too much a leap to think the pitch to Holloway's camp was along the lines of hey kid how's you like to double your salary. Ride with us, the three times value offer sheet to Broberg will be too much to match two guys and the Oilers won't want to lose face or two young guys so they'll match on you.
Looks like the Oil likely prioritized young d over young middle roster winger with the Polkozin trade. But we wait and see. A similar pedigree forward for less than the offer sheet return is great. Not confident Polkozin hits with his draft projections as an offensive player. But if they get an inexpensive peak years middle roster speed and heavy game winger it's a reasonable fallback.

Oh alright thanks I don’t know too much of the history of this exact situation but when he was our GM he did forget to qualify a few players in time which ended up biting us in the back.

The organization's valuation on young defense v forward is in.
Have to give Ceci some props. Stepped up for team need into a tough 2nd pairing role and worked his ass off. I have time and respect for that.

St. Louis about to miss out on their entire reason for these OS and made an enemy in the process.
So how much cap space do we have now ?
Really looks like the option will be to match Broberg and let Holloway walk

This shows the Oil aren't going to be pushed around. Now St. Louis has to watch their back on their RFAs next year.
ya with what money & what picks do the Oil have to go after anyone?

I am assuming we will match Broberg and let Holloway go after the Podkolzin/Ceci trades.
Sucks to see Holloway go but I think it was a really dumb decision to sign the offer sheet if he liked playing in Edmonton. Will be interesting to see how his career goes.
Guess we will see on Broberg. Obviously the Oilers value him moving going forward as part of the future. I think Jackson looks pretty foolish here though. He should of been proactive if he thought high of him. Hopefully it works out going forward. I have no idea what to expect from Broberg at this point though. I think we are also setting him upto fail because no one seems to have good numbers with Nurse.
I also hope that this contract doesn’t come back to bite us on other contracts but particularly Bouchards deal. I doubt he’s going to take a cut seeing Broberg is being paid more than him.

I knew another shoe would drop.
I don't think Stan's done. Kulak has to be moved out so Broberg can play on his strong side.

We just made two trades (smart ones IMO), that open up space for Broberg to stay.
Been proactive and signed him to a massively inflated deal so he didnt sign an offersheet?

How about focusing on building a winning team instead of pursuing revenge.

I don't blame Jackson or Holland. Brobergs camp from what I read didn't want to sign anything and waited on purpose for this offer sheet. They heard it would come and they jumped on it when it came down. How could that be Jackson or Hollanda fault if that was Brobergs agent game plan? If they match, they must feel they can play him and feel he's worth the contract. But I really think this was him and his agent doing this and not the Oilers management due diligence.
