what's the compensation?

 

[DaveG]

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?

they've accepted.

what's the compensation?

3rd for Holloway, 2nd for Broberg

 

[Bgav]

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.

When you know a team is in dire straights there’s no reason not to get the most out of them. Oilers would have no choice

 

[Volica]

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.

 

[Kupo]

 

[Vasilevskiy]

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.

The compensation for the offer sheet is a 2nd and a 3rd. You want more than that if bailing them out. Broberg is gone anyways for sure, I think they match Holloway

 

[JEI]

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

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Did they announce it in French, though?!

So uhh is it just a 2nd or 1st & 3rd... for Broberg

Why wouldn’t they? They now edm has to make the trade to keep broberg and holloway. Why wouldn’t they use that against them? Oh no edm might say no and they won’t get two mid to bad players lmao

 

[NeverForget06]

Broberg has Darren Ferris as his agent btw…. same guy as Marner

 

[The Great Weal]

Is it? I thought the point is to better your team

Offering a fair contract through an offersheet makes the team more likely to match which defeats the purpose. The Blues intend to improve their team by wanting to add these two which would have cost more assets than a 2nd and a 3rd if they simply traded for them. Instead, they paid more in terms of salary which puts the Oilers at a really bad spot.

 

[J bo Jeans]

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?

 

[Skolman]

what's the compensation?

It's on every page in here

 

[Crabapple]

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

They have to pay him the offer sheet.
It's a signed contract; the only variable is the team who pays out the contract - Blues or Oilers.

It is locked in. These are the contracts, it is just a question of which team it is with.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

No, they have to pay him that.
Same for Holloway.

Not many teams have 6 better defensemen than Ceci & Kulak..

I agree, the Oilers will have to pay with futures... I'm not saying they are valuable.

 

[spockBokk]

Don’t see a world where the Oilers let Holloway go for just a 3rd and see no way they can match the Broberg offer. Seems like a foregone conclusion that they match Holloway and begrudgingly take the 2nd for Broberg.

Pretty easy for me to walk away from the Broberg deal.

Broberg and Holloway were RFAs, but that still means they were Free Agents - they negotiated the deals, it just means Edmonton can either match the contracts that were signed or take the draft pick compensation.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Yup. Broberg was better than Nurse.

I was better than Nurse.

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.
