Confirmed Trade: [SJS/EDM] D Cody Ceci, '25 3rd round pick for D Ty Emberson

[Oilslick941611]

Remove Ceci, Holloway and force Bowman to sign Broberg to 4.5*2 contract. In hindsight ppl will realize the damage Armstrong did to the Oilers window.

I think matching broberg at 4.5 is a massive mistake for us.

Hindsight? I see that shit right now lol

Grier also came into one of the worst situations I've ever seen a new NHL GM come into. When he was hired the Sharks lacked picks, prospects, and cap space while lacking talent and the good players they did have were overpaid and old or had serious issues that could inhibit their values like the Timo Meier $10 qualifying offer. Now us Sharks fans have something we have not had in a while, hope for the future.

Literally turned this graveyard into the best prospect pool in hockey and more money than we know what to do with along with only one major contract long term.

Edmonton won’t let STL fleece them

They’ll do it themselves!

Good move for the Oilers. Get a young right handed d-man and save 2 million in cap space. Decent day for Bowman.

Honestly, bowman did pretty good considering his hands were tied and GM’s knew it.

Am I missing something cap wise? Oilers shed ceci 3.25 but podolzkin and Emerson both have 1 mill cap hits. So Oilers only gained 1.25 mill in cap space after these moves.

Wouldn’t that mean it would still be tough to match broberg instead of Holloway?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Grier could have gotten more, what an awful trade by the Sharks where they had all the leverage.

 

[Turin]

Not really, Edmonton needs defensemen over forwards at this point, and Broberg looked pretty good paired next to Nurse in the playoffs.

I dont think he did.

If they’re putting Kane on LTIR they’re buying more time until they have to make another move before he comes back during the season.

Sucks for St. Louis. Although them not getting Broberg now is hilarious. Grier gonna be public enemy #1 with their fan base.

I’ve heard so many mixed opinions about Broberg this last week. I can’t remember the last time a guy played mostly in the AHL the season before got a contract like that.

I’ve never really noticed him much in the Oiler’s games I’ve seen (not that I’ve really been watching him in depth). I’m not sure what I would do if I was Bowman.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Is Broberg back to being good now?

What? No. Do Edmonton fans not get that if you match Broberg, St. Louis doesn’t lose anything.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It should have taken way more than that to dump ceci, especially if you get a playable asset back

Well, I don't think Ty Emberson is that on a team looking to realistically win a Stanley Cup. Is he?

That said, the larger point of needing more value coming withi Ceci stands.

All it takes is there to be one other suitor and then the leverage is gone.

Maybe there were lots of teams who demanded a 1st and smiled like they just aced supply and demand, but they didn't get anything out of it

Bottom line is that Grier pushed his team closer to finishing the rebuild today, even just by a little bit. That's a good day

 

[Stelmacki]

It’s going to be awkward for the Oiler fans that told him to piss off after he signed the offer sheet.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Ceci will be a decent D for San Jose. They aren't expected to win much so Ceci certainly won't hurt more than whom ever else they had to play those mins. Thanks to Grier though. Saved us Broberg in all likelihood.

 

[clydesdale line]

What? No. Do Edmonton fans not get that if you match Broberg, St. Louis doesn’t lose anything.

Where in my post did you decifer that? I said Grier would be public enemy #1 in their fan base because Broberg is who St. Louis wanted the most out of those two now that Edmonton will likely match.

He played 12 regular season games last year and 10 playoff games and only 81 nhl in his career. His playofff stats put him as the worst analytically on the blue line.


He hasn’t had an impact at all in the NHL and hasn’t shown he’s capable of playing NHL hockey for a prolonged period of time. Matching the blues offer sheet is a mistake that will likely destroy the oilers as they currently are. Broberg is making more money than Evan Bouchard. That’s insane. The D without ceci and VD is objectively worse than last season.

Is Broberg back to being good now?

No. Massive gamble and not worth it.

 

[themelkman]

Dont be too mad at Grier, he might do something like this for your team if you ask nicely.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Is Broberg back to being good now?

Same player he's been since the beginning of this whole thing, nothing's changed.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Broberg stats in the 10 games he played in the playoffs place him last among the D group analytically.

 

[Mr Positive]

Yes an 8th overall pick who has been only trending up and just had a great playoffs. Bouchard had his haters too.

Jeff Finger - well one season removed from the AHL

Hopefully better ending for the Oil

nah, absolute worst-case scenario is Broberg bought out, which isn't a huge cap hit
he's got all the tools and had a great playoff, he will blossom into a top 4 d-man this year IMO
