Of course the other option is to take the picks and let them walk. I didn't need to do a mathematical breakdown for that though. What I was doing, was trying to be logical and show the options, without resorting to any sort of "F 'em" type thoughts.
That's not entirely true. We can afford Holloway rather easily, its just asking the question about whether he is worth it. Keeping Broberg takes a bit more work, but again, its more about whether we SHOULD, rather than if we CAN.
Fair, but still....f 'em. They made their choices.
Why would they take less money, and MUCH less in Broberg's case?
Ya, I was surprised he signed the offer sheet. Seamed like he really loved the Oilers and the Team from interviews.
Ignore list is getting quite the workout today.
Nope. Not with a no move clause. No trades, no waiving. He's on the team, guaranteed, until 2027-28, when his full NMC becomes a 10 team no trade clause. Unless he wants out, he's going nowhere.
Hopefully the Blues make them all offers they can't refuse to become Blues fans.
Nah. Holloway just saw his top 6 minutes go up in smoke on Jul. 1. He's going to have another mediocre regular season playing bottom 6 minutes (if all goes well with Skinner and Arvi). It makes sense for him.
For real.These people like to preach loyalty. Look where that got McLeod.
The offer sheet was just made, season has been over for two months every other clubs got their RFA's signed for decent contracts
There isn't a single reason for any team to take him especially with a desperate GM.
That's cool, so maybe you should post on your new favorite team's board? Your choice of course so good luck with your new team.
It's very likely that their agents caught wind of the offer sheet possibility way before they were signed. Just look at Armstrong's quote from a while back when he said he was open to it. There was no reason for Broberg and Holloway to shortchange themselves and rush to sign a cheap contract in July or early August.
