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

[ManofSteel55]

TSN only saying offersheeted. No news if signed by either but did state 7 days starting now.
Blues website blowing up already.

An offersheet doesn't exist if the players don't sign it. So they have been signed if the 7 days have started.

You simply can't match that Broberg deal. It just isn't feasible. Sucks that we're going to lose him for magic beans when it seems like he was finally starting to blossom.

 

[ManofSteel55]

He’s the one who f***ed up the cap

Let's be realistic here, there is really only one overpaid player on the Oilers, and nothing JJ did messed up the cap. Would not signing Jeff Skinner have made Broberg worth 9.2M over the next 2 years?

 

[CycloneSweep]

This is a failure by the team to sign both of them early knowing this might happen. I don't see how we fit either under the cap with those numbers

I don’t see how either are worth those numbers either honestly.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Imagine blaming bowman for this.

 

[McJadeddog]

This has nothing to do with the Bowman situation other than the delay in getting a GM in place. Armstrong was looking for these sorts of deals. BUt Bowman will wear the consequences if he can't make lemonade out of this lemon.

There is no lemonade here. All outcomes are bad truthfully. You walk away from them both, and look to other options.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Signing Perry was a mistake.

 

[Boner Pills]

Holy shit, bold moves. These guys are gone in my opinion. Had half the summer to do something, so that's the way she goes. Good luck to St Louis paying them $7M a season.

 

[dustrock]

We signed 8000 players on July 1st but not our RFAs. Everyone was saying it was the best offseason ever. Now we're in the "finding out" stage.

I'd probably let both walk but Broberg absolutely for sure.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Take the 2nd round pick for Broberg. A pick in the 30-40s will let them acquire a better rental RD at the deadline.

Holloway will be a tough call at $2M AAV. Guess they will have to check on Kane's situation closely.

 

[Arpeggio]

I would let both walk, Savoie eats Holloway's lunch offensively, Broberg's contract is just untenable. Oh well, but something better with those picks.

Don't see the issue here.

This magic bean should be relatively easy to flip into a player who right now today is better than Broberg.

 

[LTIR]

He’s the one who f***ed up the cap

Perry is the only 'bad' cap move.

 

[North]

To be honest I would match Holloway. Broberg…if we had the money I’d match him too but…

 

[ManofSteel55]

There is no lemonade here. All outcomes are bad truthfully. You walk away from them both, and look to other options.

The lemonade is to replace the players with options that perform at a similar level for a fraction of the price.

I wonder if part of the reason for the J. Skinner signing, was that JJ expected an offer sheet on Holloway to come, and he was lining up the replacement in advance. Hmmm.

 

[dustrock]

Signing Perry was a mistake.

Thought it was a mistake the first time around.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

According to Friedman Oilers had given them offers a while ago.

Ok I take it back. Enjoy STL Broberry

I would match Broberg and walk from Holloway:

• Current Cap: - $354,167
• LTIR Kane: + $5,125,000
• Brown AHL: + $1,000,000
• Broberg Match: - $4,580,917
• Lavoie Roster: - $775,000 (Savoie if he proves it at - $886,666)
• Projected Cap w/ LTIR: + $414,916 (+ $303,916 if Savoie)
• 22 Man Roster: 13F, 7D, 2G

You then figure out a traded at the deadline to improve your D Core (i.e. Codi Ceci + Picks for a Dman slightly retained, etc.).

I like Holloway, but unless you are confident in Akey or Wanner being able to step up now we need to solidify the D more than the forwards.

 

[InTheBox]

I don’t see how either are worth those numbers either honestly.

I agree. It's hard to see some of the very few young players leave. There isn't much behind them in the system.

Any negative news about the Oil sure does bring some "fans" out of the woodwork. Holy hell I'm reading some takes on here today.

This site can be exhausting sometimes.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Perry is the only 'bad' cap move.

Even that's a nothing move, as we can dump him to the minors with no cap penalty if we have to.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Ok I take it back. Enjoy STL Broberry

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Signing Perry was a mistake.

Neither of these guys were signing for 1.15M or it would have been done already.

 

[Ninety7]

wish nurse was going the other way…

Broberg will be better than him next season.. if not already

 

[TB12]

An offersheet doesn't exist if the players don't sign it. So they have been signed if the 7 days have started.

This needs to be pinned to the first post.

If an offer sheet is announced, it means IT HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THE PLAYER.

Teams talk to players all the time about potential offer sheets but we never hear about them unless it has been signed by the player.

This site can be exhausting sometimes.

Amen.
