Small incentive not to match.
Small incentive not to match.
Known to the organization is a bogus value added.sure they do, why do you think St. Louis signed him? he's got all the tools and only 23
Not as good as having a those 2 good young players though. And don't get used to that I suspect it won't last longNot going into LTIR is good.
I like they got a little extra but 2028 is crazy.
Any halfway competent management would've already known this.Pretty bad position we ended up in. We shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place. Hopefully we learned our lesson to prioritize our young players (or lackthereof at this point). I thought that management did a decent job of trying to fill the holes left by Holloway and Broberg so kudos to them. As for Holloway, Broberg and the Blues…I hope they waste away in mediocrity for years to come![]()
If Emberson is on Broberg's level why did the Sharks trade him for Ceci?Known to the organization is a bogus value added.
Means more to the fans. They have a recency bias about Broberg because he played solid in the playoffs. Which is fair. They also have a bias against Emberson because they didn’t know who he was a week ago, doesn’t mean he is a worse player because of ignorance. The Oilers knew who he was.
I'm guessing they have a back up plan. Having our defense start the year without Ceci, Daisy, and Broberg while only adding Emberson would be moronic. Bowman and Jackson must be up to something...
Jimmi, the act is getting a little tired at this point. I refrained from saying anything after many, many posts of the same thing but lets take a breather here because it's infecting every thread and is unproductive.Stan is killing it, can't wait for more lol
No it really wouldn't have, they might have had to be in ltir, but they would have been fine.
Some background negotiation before Stan threaten to match is what I’m guessing.
How do you know that....?Holloway to Podklozin and Broberg to Emberson are clear downgrades now and especially long term. Now the Oilers do get nearly $5m in cap space by not matching but the Oilers are clearly a worse team as of today if they don't match these offers.
I think this is a bad idea not to match but we'll see how it plays out. Not happy about this, at all.
Both McDavid and Draisaitl are very good students of the game who could very well be okay with keeping Broberg just in the cold boardgame logic of maximizing talentIt would. We can't create cap out of thin air.
I'm sure McDavid and Draisaitl would like to get paid more than wiping Broberg's and Holloway's bums.
They chose their own fate by signing those offer sheets. If you disagree that's your privilege.
And you are the only poster who holds Broberg in such high esteem. A one man gang. A lone wolf.
It's not an act, its what I'm seeing. It's reality. It's just dreadful misuse of the assets and roster for no other reason then negligence.Jimmi, the act is getting a little tired at this point.
We get the jist of it by now. You didn't like the hire, we know.
Holloway is clearly better than Podkolzin, Broberg has far more upside than Emberson IMO.Podkolzin has more experience and more points than Holloway in games played. Emberson played better than Broberg last year, and is a better positional fit now. I disagree it's a downgrade. It might be eventually between Broberg and Emberson, but it isn't right now, and the cap space rules over all.
This would certainly redeem Bowman and others, but it won't happen.Glad they didn't match. That made the most sense. Sucks to lose the players, but you gotta cut your losses when they are small.
Now let's see a trade to play with Nurse.
It may help this season, but the future just got bleakerLTIR means effectively not adding at the deadline. They will have 4.4M at the deadline now if they don’t put Kane on LTIR. With retention including double retention that means they might have effectively 13.2M at the deadline and lots of draft capital to utilize to add plus they can bring Kane back with no other moves required.
Smart move to let them walk for a massive overpay on StL end and get 3 draft picks and a player plus adding Podkast and Emberson.
