So he's not going to LTIR? Or he is?
Sounds like prob LTIR but after the season starts accrue cap. Evander still working through if surgery or not with doctors kind of.
So he's not going to LTIR? Or he is?
He will be on the LTIR for a bit but he wouldn’t have opened up free cap space for Broberg like some of you seem to think.So he's not going to LTIR? Or he is?
From last years starting lineup, The Oilers have lost youth and speed (McLeod, Holloway, Broberg, Foegle) and replaced them with older (more experienced sigh) slower smaller weaker players (Skinner, Arvidsson, Henrique, Perry...)
Waiver wire pickups are now occupying the 2nd and 3rd pairings.
These moves and others make one believe that they know Drai is not signing long term and that Jackson was brought in to try and get Edmonton a cup before Drai/Connor leave. He purged the youthful mistakes (future) and brought in reliable vets (now).
Hopefully I am wrong. Whether or not Leon signs will be telling in the next few weeks. He is the biggest, second fastest guy on his line again. He will need to dig in the corners and play defense again because Arvidsson is too small and injury prone and Skinner wont. Doubt that makes him overly impressed.
Now they are also league chumps. Bouchard would be crazy not to wait for an offer sheet now because you can guarantee one will be on the way next year. Why would he want to stick around on an old declining team whose first line center is a 33 year old Nuge.
IMO, this offseason has definitely fallen from my original A rating. Oh well, that's the end of my vent.
Hopefully I am wrong and Draisaitl signs in the next few weeks. Cheers!
Over $6,435,187 – $8,580,250 | 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick |
Over $8,580,251 – $10,725,314 | Two 1st’s, one 2nd, one 3rd round pick |
Over $10,725,315 – ∞ | Four 1st round picks |

Pretty much the last two years we havent been running a full roster. A full roster will definitely help as 11-7 which we were playing a lot of under woody isnt ideal for a forward getting double shifted.Well based on Bowmans interview, I don’t think Kane will be out all year so had to have some cap space available.
Will also be nice to run a full roster and some additional slots after a long playoff run. Been times last couple of years where we couldn’t even dress 20 players

Not surprising, if true. He's always been a ****. That's the type of move that would have me considering black balling all of his clients. Two of which are Zadina and Soderstrom.If that report that Broberg's agent introduced the Holloway offer sheet idea to Armstrong is true, I feel like maybe Broberg's agent was quite aggressive in seeking out an offer sheet. It does seem silly in hindsight to sign Perry, Brown, and to some extent even Janmark rather than figuring out these guys' contracts. But at least with Broberg, I think they were always going to wait until offer sheets became a possibility.
The rumoured ask of 1.8 for Broberg was also ridiculous.
Ya that's Darren Ferris. Known to be an agent who chases the biggest pay cheques for his clients, fit be damned.Not surprising, if true. He's always been a ****. That's the type of move that would have me considering black balling all of his clients. Two of which are Zadina and Soderstrom.
Well that is one way for Holloway's agent to get his name out there.Ya that's Darren Ferris. Known to be an agent who chases the biggest pay cheques for his clients, fit be damned.
Holloway got duped here. Rumors he is unhappy with his camp. Yes he signed the offer sheet, but what advice was he getting? His agent only has one client - Dylan Holloway. Maybe not for much longer.
Reverse the Ceci trade?I can't see the Oilers going with the current Dcore for much of the season. They probably have a plan in place for after game 1 of the season to add a RD.

Ceci 50% retained for 2nd lol (dont actually do this).Reverse the Ceci trade?![]()
Like I said, if he isn't signed by camp. If he is then, I'm wrong concerning the pattern of moves. To be clear, Draisaitl has every right to try another market. He's been a good warrior with bad management.Oh wow. So I guess we are in full on panic now? Drai is leaving, McDavid is leaving, Bouchard is leaving! Yikes.
I think the offer sheets should result in somebody being fired, but holy hell, I don't think it affects McDrai signings in the least.
So he specializes in underperforming euro players coming over who think they're worth more than replacement level?Conincidently both guys might be good targets for the Oilers right now.
I don't know, if you are signing an offer sheet you have to know what you are getting yourself into.Ya that's Darren Ferris. Known to be an agent who chases the biggest pay cheques for his clients, fit be damned.

I don't know, if you are signing an offer sheet you have to know what you are getting yourself into.
Soon as you sign that offer sheet you are 100% pissing off your current team's management and there is a good chance that the team who is up against the cap isn't going to match.
Unless of course his agent was lying to him all along about what was going on between his agent and the Oilers.
Well Holloways interview he says Broberg approached him about it and doing it.Yeah and the offer sheet is in unison with another one to really put the screws to the team. Its not just your typical offer sheet. Not smart unless he wanted to be somewhere else.
Well Holloways interview he says Broberg approached him about it and doing it.
So I mean Broberg clearly wanted out.
Guess we won’t do the Mark Stone cheat. Kinda discounted, not gonna lie.Well based on Bowmans interview, I don’t think Kane will be out all year so had to have some cap space available.

An inexperienced agent with one client just might have said, sign it and the Oilers will surely match it?I don't know, if you are signing an offer sheet you have to know what you are getting yourself into.
