We will miss both players. I do think we're a bit worse today than yesterday.
Both made key plays in the playoffs that helped tip the scales in the Canucks and Stars series particularly.
Holloway one hurts. Gut says he thought we'd match for sure. His interview for the Blues welcome has scripted/robotic vibes. Did we need Perry re-signed? Did we need to jump on Josh Brown? Two contracts for a 13F and 7D that frankly we wouldn't have missed and allowed us to swallow the pill easier on keeping Holloway.
Broberg I understand. The flashes in these playoffs make it tough also. Convinced he was more valuable to the team than Nurse in the playoffs, just has a better head for the game honestly.
Cupboards are bare as it is, and we have now seen a huge chunk of our young and contributing talent go out this summer in McLeod, Broberg and Holloway. Penalty kill takes a big hit with the departures of Vinny, Ceci and McLeod again as well. Youth and special teams weakened and it hasn't been replenished (at least not yet). Podkolzin, Savoie, Emberson these are all still hopefuls as any sort of replacements.
This blows. I need a Draisaitl extension yesterday to swing the Oilers mood pendulum again.
