Players want to win, but it’s not the final puzzle piece for everyone. Players also need financial security for life.
in hindsight, it was the perfect decision for Kuzmenko. He got paid handsomely by showing he wasn’t a byproduct of other players.

You are using an imaginary 90 point season to decide Holloway has somehow left money on the table. He has never at any point as a prospect or in his time as a pro shown the potential to become a 90 point player....and there is no assurances that he would be anything more then a 3rd line forward with Edmonton. You are talking out of your ass.

He did and Armstrong didn’t budge. U can state your one sided opinion and I can state mine. Why even respond to this and spark an argument that’s been done 1000 times.

I believe soo too. Armstrong stated a few months ago you only make the offer sheet if you think it will be successful. Getting Holloway for a 3rd is a no brainer but the flip side is you have to know Edmonton is matching on that Holloway offer. Thus, the offer made to force the hand on the main target Broberg.

They can technically match and fit everyone in without having to trade anyone. But they’d be running a 20 man roster and have to abuse emergency call ups which wouldn’t be ideal but it’s an option.
Sleepy st. Louis huh. Just won a cup and the parade was of the chain. 600k showed up and we didnt even destroy anything. Wheres your cup recently

ask any player who's played in the NHL and the difference in coverage between the US and Canada
not saying the Blues don't have a good fan base...but the spotlight in Canada is far more intense
are they bigger than the Cards?

sure but the Oilers are THE team in Edmonton...like the Packers the THE team in Green Bay
one of the first things Pronger said when he got here in 2005 was how intense the market was

I would take the compensation if I was the Oilers GM. Otherwise how can you ask McDavid/Draisaitl/Bouchard to take discounts when non core players on the team are getting overpayments. Work instead on creating a culture of players wanting to play for the Oilers to win cups.

Broberg was really good for the Oilers in the playoffs, could be a homerun signing for the Blues.
Holloway a point per game player!!!!
In that case Edmonton should have locked him up long term on an 8 year deal.
Broberg and hollaway are the perfext age for this young team our vetts are buchy schenn saad parayko faulk. Thats good enough young players are needed.
He has potential for second 3rd.line scoring. We will take him

Why do people keep saying this? What exactly did Bowman do that would create high level resentment towards him from other GM’s?
I think people have developed their own narrative as to what knowledge and involvement Bowman actually had. A website called “Heavy Hockey” gives a good summary of the independent findings from Jenner & Block after investigating the matter. He believed the President of the Blackhawks - John McDonough - was the one that would handle everything at the time…. Which should have been the case.
Now granted, as time passed and nothing was addressed, there were opportunities to expose the situation that he never took, but it’s not like he witnessed it take place in person or was doing anything malicious, he was just silent and waiting for someone higher up the management chain to handle it first. Most of the GM’s in the league would have played it the same way I’m guessing. But hindsight is 20/20 around here, so I’m sure I’ll be told otherwise.
The way some people spout opinions about Bowman, it’s like he was the dude diddling Beach.
I guarantee you the majority of GM’s give approximately zero f***s about how Bowman handled things and instead are just glad it wasn’t them in the same situation.
Blues will sign him long before he becomes.available. just look at thomas and kyrou. Army dont play that.
IMO I think the Cardinals have a much bigger casual fan base than the Blues but the Blues have a much larger diehard fans than the Cardinals. Just my opinion.
