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)

[Hockeyville USA]

Chiarelli in the Blues front office is another fun wrinkle in this potential burgeoning feud

 

[Curufinwe]

Does this indicate that Broberg and Holloway have accepted these deals? Or that STL is just publically announcing the deals on the table for them?

The players must have signed the offer sheets.

I think Edmonton should match Holloway. That offer is not bad for what he brings…and he is worth more than a 3rd.

Then if I’m Edmonton I gladly do not match Broberg. He is not worth $4.5 and I would much rather have a 2nd instead of him.

 

[Jumptheshark]

KANE to LTIR to delay anything till January

 

[Menzinger]

It will be 100% better for the league if St. Louis is successful with these offer sheets. It will lead to so much more player movement as other GMS might actually be convinced to use them

 

[DaveG]

Welcome to St Louis Broberg is my guess on the outcome here. Think Edmonton matches on Holloway

 

[Captain Mountain]

Yes, I'm sure they are going to ask for a 1st for a player that has 1 or 2 years left on his deal at a decent cap hit in today's NHL.

Ceci has 1 year left at 3.25 mil per.
Kulak has 2 years left at 2.75 mil per.

Teams in August are comfortable with their roster going into training camp, need to clear out cap or are looking to get an insanely good deal.

No one is looking at Ceci or Kulak right now and thinking they need a bottom pair D, they'd be looking and thinking about how much they can get from Edmonton to do them a favour.

 

[Random Comment]

Despite Ceci’s reputation I don’t think either would be that hard to move. NHL GMs always have time for big veteran defensemen even if in Ceci’s case his on ice play hasn’t been good in quite some time.

His on ice play was never good. That’s why Ottawa shipped him off. Developed very poorly. Ott tried to shove shut down D style on him and it backfired because he isn’t quick enough at making decisions in this league. Maybe it’s his own fault though who knows.

Then if I’m Edmonton I gladly do not match Broberg. He is not worth $4.5 and I would much rather have a 1st and 3rd instead of him.

They only get a 2nd

$2,290,457 to $4,580,917 - 2nd round pick

I've got bad news for you...

 

[Dr Pepper]

Every offer sheet that gets signed is announced

I'm talking about the ones that DON'T get signed, teams sending out feelers to pending RFAs on other teams, but there's no interest on the other side so we never hear about it.

Thomas Harley's still a RFA with Dallas. I'm willing to bet other teams have tabled offers that he's declined - but we'll never know.

 

[Skolman]

They only get a 3rd.

Nope, a 2nd for Broberg

 

[GreeningOil]

f*** you too St. Louis.

The audacity of them

 

[SI90]

Woah! Drama

 

[thewookie1]

Holloway or a 3rd
Broberg or a 2nd

Love 2 see it

Believe the compensation would be a 3rd for Holloway and a 2nd for Broberg.

That has nothing to do with this then

Trust me I’m no fan of Ceci I just don’t believe the fan perception of his trade value (would have to give a first to move him) is accurate.

 

[Jacob]

I think these are two young guys with some pedigree that you overpay for now just to get them in the system. They're basically still prospects, with many years of cost-control ahead of them.

Broberg might just be a #6 right now but he's a #6 with the upside to become maybe a #5 or #4, he's not just like Chad Ruhwedel. Holloway is a 4th liner but probably has middle-6 upside.

 

[ijuka]

Nice.

I like it when teams utilize offer sheets. Make this a real option that exists even outside of paper. Viable offer sheets greatly benefit the players.

 

[Senscore]

Thank god we have some real drama to discuss.

Samsonov's weird shitposting just wasn't enough.

 

[Muffin]

anything that makes edmonton squirm is good in my books. those contracts are pretty massive overpays though.

In terms of salary sure but it's only for two years and St Louis isn't exactly hurting for cap space.

*gulps in Thomas Harley*

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

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