They've screwed themselves. We're going to keep Holloway for a decent value. Broberg isn't yet worth half of what they have offered him. Let them prove he's a top 6 D-man earning top pairing money.
I keep seeing people saying there should be more of this kind of thing, and as an Oilers fan, I agree. I'd like the Oilers to match both offers and for the Blues to go and keep doing it to other teams until somebody gives up and takes the draft picks. Spread the misery around a bit. (Getting a 2nd and a 3rd back for these two is such a horrible return, I honestly think it's worth it.)
Sounds more like they just did the Oilers a favour. Showing them two guys who aren't interested in being there, and they'll be giving away a 2nd and 3rd round pick for doing so.
Broberg isn't going anywhere in this league, at least, no higher than 3rd pairing, or emergency 2nd pairing. That Broberg contract offer, is absolutely idiotic.
Holloway has some upside to him, and maybe EDM will match his, but, do you really want a guy in your locker room, that just signed a paper to get out of your locker room?
In any case, thank you, STL. Most people don't see it right now, but they will in the future. You just did Edmonton a fine service. Let me know how Broberg does in your minor league affiliate. 🍻
Love the chaos. And remember, it's a long game. This is more about Draisaitl than these two players. Push EDM over the cap now so they can't match your offer to Leon next season. It's genius from Armstrong, pure genius!
You're Doug Armstrong. You had to listen to Chelsea Dagger countless times as Stan Sleazeball Bowman grinned and lifted 3 cups. Now Sleazeball Stan is back in the league and is capped out and you have a chance at stabbing the sleaze in the back…you take it.
The Oilers screwed themselves by prioritizing Perry and Josh Brown over Broberg and Holloway. Terrible asset management for players that should have been regulars all of last season. The Oilers were hoping to keep depth in the minor system and instead they lost that depth.
The was already screwed. The team is doing the exact opposite to what cup winning teams did before winning. They all brought in bigger tougher players. The Oilers brought in Skinner, Arvidsson, and Savoie. McLeod for Savoie is sh!@. McLeod is a defensive specialist. He skates like the wind and is tough to play against.The PK was on fire in the playoffs against the best, and they got rid of their best defensive forward. That trade was a big mistake. Now it looks like their two best up and coming players are going to StLouis. I just shake my head. They let Vincent walk, and now it's let's trade Ceci away for nothing to keep Broberg. What's the blueline looking like right now. Seriously, this team isn't even close. Just wait until the PK is near the bottom of the league and the goals against is right there with the pk. Defending was the one thing the team started to do well, and they fu!@ed it up. The team started to be tough to play against, and now all I see is the old soft Oilers.
And this is exactly how bad contracts come into being. Team A offers a contract to Team B's player(s) which they know Team B either can't afford or if matched would be bad for their cap.

Meanwhile, in Calgary: 😌🙌🏼🙏🏼✊🏼
Doug Armstrong got tired of destroying the Blues team he decided to try and screw other teams.

Why does he pronounce St. Louis like St. Louis?

What in the AI generated voice
4million for broberg dudes played 12 games last year haha so he's worth 333k per game… that like saying drai is worth 97k per game 😂😂😂😂😂
I figured that the dead cap from getting rid of Jack Campbell might come into play.
Who the hell says "St. Louis" like that?
Bring back the normal Eck. This guy sounds like an AI with how he speaks in general.
I love chaos, thank you St. Louis! Offer sheets are too rare these days.
an old st-louis tradition… shafting the chicago gm…
The Bowman curse. Karma is?
😂😂😂 that's what you get

As an oilers hater this is the best news all summer!
That is not eck

Not my Eck 😭
I think we’ll keep Holloway but Broberg is definitely not coming back
as a blues fan, yes we love the chaos on a tuesday morning 😭😭
This isn’t the wisest move by the Blues, but I gotta admit that it’s funny and makes the Oilers look stupid
Canada sucks.. you cannot pay athletes properly
Oilers are a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You love to see it!
