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)

[Robtom18]

The amazing part is this. Broberg was a healthy scratch round 1 and 2 of the playoffs. Oilers trailed the Canucks 3-2, if the Oilers don't come back to win that series that Broberg watched in the press box he would be and Oiler on a 1 year 1 million dollar deal, instead the Oilers insert him in game #4 of the West Finals and he plays a solid 10 games, and gets over $4.5 for 2 years. The price of winning is amazing. He has played 81 games in his 3 year career.

He woukd look real good with parayko. Blues needed.another young capable lhd.

When lindstein makes team.next year blues will have a good young d core.

Broberg parayko

Lindstein kessel

I guess money talks and a chance at the cup walks!

Enjoy St Louis boys!

 

[Robtom18]

Um Jackson knew what the cap situation was before he signed arviddson, skinner and Henrique. Has nothing to do with holland


McLeod never took less to stay here. He’s nothing special. Paid what he’s worth

Giving nurse 10 is really really really bad each really shows 1mil over paid

I mean... they aren't old players. St louis' young core is much better than Edmontons and we'll see if they become a dumpster fire after draisaitl and McDavid leave.

We will enjoy them here. Blues just got better. Also the team we are building will be in the playoffs really soon and binner is just as good.

And Holloway has opted to contribute to the problem of overpaying players relative to their actual performance. He's also sacrificing future income by actively choosing to play with Robert Thomas over Connor McDavid. Broberg is a lot more understandable- that's an insane overpay- but Holloway has thrown away a very straight forward path to both personal and professional success with this move. It could easily go down as an all-time NHL bag fumble, especially if the Oilers win it all this year.

$2.85 is an overpay for a middle 6 power forward, thats young and a recent 1st rd pick?

 

[Robtom18]

what's the compensation?

2nd for broberg and 3rd for holloway in next years draft in wich edm doesnt have a firat or.second

 

[JKG33]

But it doesn't, not really. No rational person could or would believe there's more points and thus dollar bills to be had lining up next to Thomas or Schenn vs. McDrai, and no rational person is choosing St. Louis over Edmonton as a Cup favorite the next two years.

It's a numbingly ignorant miscalculation on his and his agent's part, and I hope it blows up in both of their faces.

Him playing next to McDrai was no guarantee either

Fair but they made it to cup finals with it. Every team has good and bad contracts and need to work around them. Signing ufas was a choice Jackson made that is now looking like it might hurt

$2.85 is an overpay for a middle 6 power forward, thats young and a recent 1st rd pick?

I mean he hasn’t proven to be an everyday nhler so maybe

 

[Robtom18]

How do offer sheets work? Do the Oilers have to pay Broberg 2 x 4.5m or can they negotiate with him and do maybe like 5 x 4m?

No once the offersheet is signed they have to.match.or blues get the player and edm gets said.pick for comp.

Bye bye Broberg. He played good in the playoffs, but that's a big number. Reckon we match Holloway's pretty comfortably.

You cant you are over the cap. Have 6 days.to clear out cap space.

 

[Robtom18]

What would the Oilers have to dump to match the offer sheet? Kane and Ceci?

7 mil

The Blues throwing a wrench into things.

Have to think with Evander on IR to start the year, that Edmonton will match the Halloway one for sure.
Giving away first round picks because of bad cap management is a tough go.

He has 7 days to clear room. Teams have to be cap compliant by start of season. So ltir doesnt help till after start of season

 

[Fucck You]

$2.85 is an overpay for a middle 6 power forward, thats young and a recent 1st rd pick?

Nope. Not really. Oilers going to offer around 1M. As of date no Oiler has taken a for the team discount. Nurse sure never. Holloway after watching the Oilers pony up for Yams and Poolboy. Thought better about sticking around and getting shafted.

 

[Robtom18]

Those players can't be dealt now, correct? Edmonton will have to move others if possible.

Correct they have signed contracts.

I think this would be fairly common for two young players, who haven't made any money yet, and could easily still bust or not be able to sustain an NHL career. Discounts to play on contending teams are more prevalent with established players, I don't blame these guys whatsoever for taking the money. Besides, they could be healthy scratches come playoff time anyways at this stage of their careers.

 

[Robtom18]

They can’t be traded by EDM for a yr if they match. If they go to STL, they can trade them at will.

Pretty sure EDM can’t trade them during the 7days they have to match either OS.

They can not.

lol that Broberg cash is disgusting

4.5 for a young promising dman with top 4 upside and could be paired with parayko. Nope thats perfect. By tge way blues plsy a better defensive system he will thrive in.

 

[Robtom18]

Selfish move from Broberg hes not worth that. Youd think hed want to play with the best player in the world and contend for a cup. Holloway is well worth that price.

Coming after rumours of Drai and Mcdavid leaning towards team friendly deals...

Are you serious right now or are you being sarcastic. Just curious. You should be angry at the gm paying half the cap to like 4 players lol. But yeah bro-by and hollows shoukd take poo. So selfish lol. I think you just mad brah

It's been a while since dubas was doing it every year but you can put people on ltr during the offseason it just makes your cap weird

 

[Realm]

Same with Zadorov and Lindholm lol

What? Both those guys played the entire year and playoffs, not sure how the 2 are related.

No, they can be 10% over the cap until the start of the season
They don’t have 7 days to clear cap

 

[Realm]

Holloway will be matched, Broberg is the question mark.

 

[ElPrimeTime]

No, they can be 10% over the cap until the start of the season

This right here. You don't have to be cap complaint to match. Imo, you match both and spend the rest of the summer convincing Kane to have surgery and find someone to take Ceci, with sweeteners if need be. But I don't think it will be crazy difficult to trade Ceci considering he's in the last year of his deal.

 

[Weltschmerz]

You can go 10% over the cap during offseason.

I think Broberg can still be good, if he is given a shot at a top 4 spot, than he might flourish.

I remember during the 2019 draft, they were talking about the 3 dmen(Byram, Seider and Broberg), they were talking about how speed and shot was a big factor in Broberg’s game.

Let’s see what happens but if given a chance I think Broberg can a decent top 4 Eman for the Blues.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Lol, get bent Bowman. Hope they lose both.

 

[Three On Zero]

I agree with you, but a Canadian team being the only one punished for LTIR abuse would not go over well at all

Eh, if a Canadian team is the team dumb enough to do it. They deserve it
