But, being realistic, Now will he, or can he trade Nurse… What a sh!t end of the stick contract it is… way to weigh the team down with greed… we dont need a nurse we eed a doctor
good interview. holloway is replaceable. again unproven NHL player asking for too much. Broberg i think took some good steps in playoffs, but hasn’t played a full NHL season. big price tag for that.
Lots of crap holland put oilers through stupid signings and not signing players, and even though they went to the cup final last year they still lost, this team is made to win a Cup NOW. Lets see what we can do to fix the cap issues which holland put us in, defense is very thin now lets see what bowman does.
I was an Oiler fan until they hired Bowman. The fact hockey fans are okay with them hiring a man who hid the rape of an 18 year old in the Chicago organization and then let said perpetrator go and get a job at a high school where he raped a child! By the Oilers hiring Bowman the oilers have said it is okay to cover up rape. Bowman can go rot, the Oilers organization can go rot and the Oilers base should be ashamed they allowed him to stay!
It does stink letting Broberg walk given his potential, but the high price coupled with his disdain for being sent down last year made it a no deal situation in my eyes. Good luck in STL guys.
They’ll probably suck next year anyway like the rest of them, once they get paid more they lose motivation and fall off, only the elite like Mcdavid remains good year after year the rest of these guys don’t last long
So, Broberg only played 12 reg season games. Period, what Broberg did in playoffs was only after NOT having to play 82 games. The question will be, who does Bowman replace Ceci's 79 games with? and replace him affordably.
Let's give him a chance. Seems like logic based decisions. I would have liked to keep Holloway but i get why they let him go. We are not offense starved. If kane plays at full potential he is amazing. Our defense just needs to be more reliable. If Nurse is playing well he is great. We just need coaching to work with them to get that consistency.
Theres no way you can pay Broberg more then Bouchard and the Oilers sent that message…. Broberg didnt have enough games to warrant that gamble… It sucks losing him but logically you cant take the risk and lose the dressing room to money like Toronto did.
Cringey. Just admit you lost 2 young quality players because you wanted to lever them to league min contracts. Happy those players dont have to work for this clown
As much I am sad that they didnt match the offer, it is what it is, its a smart move to not match the offer, because organization considering their future.. thats matured decision and I understand it.

The Oilers are the most unlikeable team in the league.
Not that I don't agree,
but This GM was a bad signing… so embarrassed for This organization for even considering this person….
This was horrendous asset management by the Oilers brass. And I’m happy for the players who stood up for themselves 💪
I still dont know how long this guys contract with the team is, does anyone know?
the right decision was to walk away, but the Oilers usually don't do the right thing.

good move , bad person
Intelligent decision making. Good logic, well thought out, and clearly articulated.

Tyson barrie on league minimum would be good
Broberg already had a you tube interview about joining the blues.

Great decision Cos with or without them we good to go and use that money for veterans that will be of great benefits to our team. Good luck to them
Really appreciate the explanation and sound thinking

Respect Bowman 👍🏻
Letting this situation happen is where this went wrong. So I don’t think we have improved, we are now not as good as we were.
Sucks losing young players in Stan I trust!
