Confirmed Signing with Link: [STL] F Dylan Holloway (2 years, $2.290457M AAV) and D Philip Broberg (2 years, $4.580917M AAV) sign offer sheets with the Blues (not matched)

[Gliff]

Feels like a lose/lose no matter how it pans out lol.

 

[le_sean]

This literally makes zero sense.

If Edmonton trades Ceci & Kulak they can sign both Broberg & Holloway.

Not to mention Kane won't be all that difficult to trade if need be

Who the f*** wants Ceci or Kulak? People are hesitating on trading for Laine, why would anyone take these two plugs?

 

[BlueDream]

Wow. Never expected this.

Because edm is cap f***ed and the blues are trying to take advantage?

 

[banks]

It's great because it's not just an offer sheet, but two of them for players on the same team. They're clearly designed to put EDM in a tough spot. The offer sheet really is the evil method of player movement. It's like every time one happens it's not just a team trying to acquire a player, it's got some nefarious underhandedness about it.

 

[KingsCourt]

LOL..i love it !

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I always wonder why that second round pick compensation tier doesn't get used more, but I guess there could be some players who have declined the offer sheet. Usually, a team that can afford to spend that much cap on an unproven player isn't very good.

Brian Burke just took his tie off in protest

Edmonton is gonna have to take the picks for broberg and use them to replace him aren't they

He was one of the best dmen for them in the finals, no way they can let him leave

 

[habsterr]

Wow surprised

 

[LOFIN]

$4.5mil for Broberg? That seems like a lot.

Well no shit, what is the point of the offer sheet if it's a fair contract that the team receiving the offer sheet would love to sign lol (asking for you Bergevin and Montreal). The only way offer sheets work, is that you overpay for potential. That's what Carolina did with Kotkaniemi, it was a well executed offer sheet. Now re-signing Kotkaniemi to a long deal, that's when they made the mistake. The actual OS to get him from Montreal, well done.

Blues doing the one thing I wish more teams did, by announcing their offer sheets.

I'm still convinced there's a ton of offer sheets we never hear about, every summer, because they fall through.

Oilers have Arvidsson and Henrique signed for 7M. I could see why Holloway and Broberg might decide to get paid closer to what they are worth at this stage of their career.

I wonder if the Oilers might try to trade Arvidsson and/or Henrique to try to match the Broberg O/S.

 

[C0DITH]

Ceci or Kulak? Lol.....No first or 2nd round picks in 2025 either, not really going to be enticing many over the next 7 days

Yes, I'm sure the market for Kulak and Ceci is very robust in August, especially since Edmonton would be in a position where they have to make a move.

 

[Stealth1616]

It’s actually wild 2 see 2 players sign an offersheet for the same team.

As an Oiler fan it is unfortunate. Broberg showed some potential but no way he is worth that to the team right now. Holloway is one that will be interesting

 

[xECK29x]

Offer sheets, in this economy?!

 

[Ararana]

Feels like a lose/lose no matter how it pans out lol.

Sure but that loss is felt significantly harder by Edmonton than it is by St Louis.

 

[dgibb10]

This is very good news for Joel Hofer and his agent

 

[Skolman]

Who the f*** wants Ceci or Kulak? People are hesitating on trading for Laine, why would anyone take these two plugs?

Because both are better than some of the schmucks that signed on July 1st.

Hell Edmundson signed for 3.85 mil per.

I'm not worried, both Holloway and Broberg will most likely be back.

 

[banks]

I wonder if either player expects/wants Edmonton to match. I think a few times in the past a player signed an offer sheet, and then was surprised by being cut loose.

I also wonder if both players knew that the other guy was doing the same thing, or if they were alone in their negotiations. You'd assume they are in on the plan with STL. But negotiations are private, so maybe they thought they were the only one doing this to Edmonton.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Hey Bruins uhhhh, maybe now is a good time to sign Swayman.

Every offer sheet that gets signed is announced
