Confirmed with Link: Oilers Do Not Match Broberg ($4.58M X2) & Holloway ($2.29M x 2) Offer Sheets | Oilers acquire STL 3rd '28 & Paul Fischer for Futures

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

You're one step away from waiting for Sheldon Kennedy to say why these offersheets are a good thing.

LOL these types of genius comments are what we have to look forward to for the next 5 years with Bowman at the helm.

 

[Cloned]

What about Backes?

Google wakey wakey Backes.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Dubas resents the Oilers signing Hyman.

Blues are still bitter over “wakey wakey Backes”.

That’s all I got lol.

If you are looking for people in St. Louis with axes to grind... Peter Chiarelli works for the Blues and Armstrong is Holland's Hockey Canada buddy.

If McDavid and Hyman were petty bastards that weren't dying to play for Canada, they'd let Armstrong know that they will be "tired" in February for the Four Nations tournament.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

They're definitely losing Broberg and will have to make some moves to keep Holloway because nobody's going to do the Oilers a favour.

I don’t think they need to make moves to match Holloway.

 

[Broberg Speed]

This really pisses me off that they thought they had the luxury of sitting on these 2 players

You don't think they were offered contracts or just not offered overpay contracts?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

No, I believe these offersheets would happen regardless of who is the gm. One of the speaking points regarding stan bowman was his experience and old boy networks in the league.. Basically holland part two who oddly enough put us in this mess.

Bowman had no input into anything before he was hired. Pretty sad when people are cheering for Bowman and as a result the Oilers to fail when they are supposed to be fans of the team. May as well start hoping for your relatives to fail if they don't listen to your advice to give you the warm and fuzzies too.

Dude you can sign Holloway and trade him for more than a 3rd.

Holloway stays regardless. People on this board are exhausting

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I cheer for the Oilers to have a competent management group who know how to navigate running a winning professional sports organization in the 21st century. can you get me that on a jersey?

lets stick to the topic of this tread for now, going off topic here

We can agree with that.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I don’t think they need to make moves to match Holloway.

Maybe, maybe not but that second year hurts in the Draisatl extension year.

You can't trade Holloway for a year if you sign him.

 

[CROTT]

I don’t think they need to make moves to match Holloway.

The Oilers are already 300k over the cap, though that’s if Kane isn’t on LTIR for the season.

 

[alanschu]

Lol yeah Broberg agent new some one was gonna offer him near triple what he is worth at the moment? Common now...

All it would really take is a GM reaching out on July 1st to plant any seeds.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I'd take the picks and let them both walk.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Google wakey wakey Backes.

....Because we signed Duncan Keith?

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

LTIRing Kane isn't the fix people think it is. They'll still have to get rid of another player when he returns.

 

[Cloned]

....Because we signed Duncan Keith?

Bowman was GM of the Hawks.

Grudges aren’t always rational.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Where do they get this cap to pay a bottom six forward 2.3M? He's gone.

 

[CupofOil]

This really pisses me off that they thought they had the luxury of sitting on these 2 players

What did you expect management to do?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

LTIRing Kane isn't the fix people think it is. They'll still have to get rid of another player when he returns.

Correct. The chances he'll be gone for the entire season are nil.

 

[Arpeggio]

Why in the world would Chiarelli have an axe to grind with Edmonton?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

LTIRing Kane isn't the fix people think it is. They'll still have to get rid of another player when he returns.

Not if it’s in the playoffs.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Honestly, this screams hatred towards Bowman and I'm not even a little bit surprised. Such a terrible hire and now this little welcome bonus. I could be wrong but doesn't seem like a coincidence to me

It's a damned good thing that teams are making multi million dollar decisions based on their hate for Bowman. It's a complete 180 to teams bending over for us when we had the lovable grandpa Holland in place.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Can you really blame Broberg for taking 4.5 mil a season? Pay me that amount and I'd play for the flames.

Blocked and reported.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

It takes like 6-12 weeks for an athlete to recover from sports hernia surgery. No way he's gone until the playoffs.

 

[Canovin]

I actually thought you needed to have all your picks before making the offersheet? This whole not having the picks and making offsheet and then trading for the picks after is sketchy as f**k
