We can't let Broberg go. Even those baboon on Florida know he's a top 4 defender
what assets lol? We have two picks left in 2025. The more we go back in years picks wise, the less value they have
He didn't see these two trades coming though. I hope Bob isn't right. Losing two players that were top 10 picks for a pair of picks is terrible asset management.
So Spec does what Spec does, so they'll both be let go lol.On Oilers Now, Brenden Escott believes that, after these moves, it seems more likely that the Oilers keep the more expensive option (Philip Broberg)
Spector believes we keep both Holloway and Broberg

Stauffer mentioned last week that, if we lose, Broberg, Oilers might set their eyes on Rasmus Andersson.
Is this true?
Unless we are running Holloway down the middle which is entirely possible.I don't see why on earth we'd acquire Podkolzin if we were planning to match on Holloway. Surely it's obvious.
How do I delete someone else’s account?

If Broberg isn't matched I really hope there's other moves in the pipeline because that defense is Mike Ricci ugly.

It's true that he mentioned him. But it's doubtful the Oilers pay the outrageous ask for two playoff runs of a player we can't afford to extend.Stauffer mentioned last week that, if we lose, Broberg, Oilers might set their eyes on Rasmus Andersson.

Honestly from how Seravalli is talking on Oilers Now, it sounds like he has no idea what we will do lol
Skinner gone, Kane prob gone after this season is more than enough for the two main extensions. The dead cap from Neal the brown dead cap etc is like 4M I believe. So who knows we could hypothetically do it depends on how much the cap goes up before mcdavid for that one I think.It's true that he mentioned him.

Makes a ton of sense as he's a perfect fit for the roster.Stauffer mentioned last week that, if we lose, Broberg, Oilers might set their eyes on Rasmus Andersson.

You need to replace those players in some manner. I understand the allure of a player of that caliber, but you're talking about a $7m+ AAV extension. Those are unmanageable numbers when you're looking at $40m for just the big three.Skinner gone, Kane prob gone after this season is more than enough for the two main extensions.

It makes sense except for the fact that we know that Conroy won't deal with us. They took a worse offer for Tanev in order to not have to ship him here.Makes a ton of sense as he's a perfect fit for the roster.
Why is Bob hinting that Emberson and Podkolzin are our replacements?
Sorry lol but I'd rather have Ceci as our 4th defenceman over Emberson.
If this is our plan, that is NO Cup winning defence.
Before anyone says, we wait till the deadline, what assets do we have left? Especially if we let Holloway and Broberg go?
Frank Seravalli believes letting Broberg go is a mistake. He thinks the right thing is signing him and letting Holloway go
Coffey definitely does. Didn't he want us to call up Broberg?I think it’s because other GM’s see the upside.
Real question is whether Jackson, Coffey or Knoblauch do.
At age 20 Skinner was rocking a sub 900 and was seeing time in the echl. Askarov is gonna be the second coming of vokoun.I did look at the stat line, .911 didn't strike me as crazy. When Skinner was 22 he had a .914 in the AHL, and while I have no idea how good Askarov will end up being, I don't remember anyone expecting Skinner to step in and be an elite NHL goalie following that season. But I thought maybe save percentages had significantly dropped in the AHL to where .911 would be standout.
When I think of elite AHL numbers, I think of a guy like Dustin Wolf putting up a .930. Looking at the top goalies in the NHL, they all put up better seasons than Askarov at the same age. A bunch of guys put up better numbers in the AHL than Askarov did last season.
If we're just looking at stats, I don't see what makes Askarov a can't miss guy. You're right though, I don't watch him. I will say, if he's not happy playing behind Jusse Saros (who btw, was putting up .920 and .930 in the AHL at Askarov's age), I can't imagine he's going to have a ton of time for playing behind Stuart Skinner.

Okay cap compliant. But then what? Who is our 4th Dman? Trading for a top 4 right handed dman is not easy. I don't remember any top 4 dman that we traded for except for LarssonThe more I think about it, it feels like it either makes sense to match both or to match neither. Matching Broberg requires Kane to be put on LTIR no matter what. At that point you have enough space to match Holloway so why wouldn't you?
If they don't think Kane can be on LTIR the whole season, than they can't afford to match Broberg either way. They need to clear more salary.
If they let them both go the team can be cap compliant with a bit of space left over to accrue for the deadline without Kane on LTIR.
