Bob Long Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 21 minutes ago, HKSR said: End of the day, it's a GM's job to make their team better. If it means acquiring 2 stud 1st rounders for a 2nd and a 3rd round pick, then you do it. Just make sure your own top tier RFAs are locked up well before the free agent market opens next year. chances are the creep Bowman matches on Bro, but I like that someone is trying this. But if StL can actually bring in this much 1st round value, it's a big win for them. A team leaving itself this vulnerable at this stage of the offseason is asking for it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the offer sheets were signed as they were coming out of the fax machines... ... nicely done Armstrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Another team could/should do an offer sheet for a dollar more per year, then another team, force St Louis to go up $20 bucks per year. As long as it doesn't trigger extra compensation, that is. Edited August 13 by Gurn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HKSR Posted August 13 Popular Post Share Posted August 13 The only thing I'm upset about regarding all of this is that STL didn't wait until tomorrow when the Leafs are apparently gonna make a big announcement about Matthews being the new captain. If this news came out tomorrow, it would have totally overshadowed the Leafs news lol 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Hilarious that the Blues put an offer sheet on both players! Edmonton can’t match either guy can they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) 1 hour ago, Elias Pettersson said: I doubt there is much of a market for Ceci. Edmonton would probably need to add to make a trade. Also, that doesn't really help Edmonton to trade Ceci just to keep Broberg. They would still be down one RHDman and Broberg would be forced to play top 4 minutes with Nurse as a RHD. Broberg must be praying that Edmonton doesn't match, I doubt he wants to play with Nurse... If Broberg is getting paid 4.5m a season; he better be playing in a top 4 role. I’m almost certain they don’t match Broberg’s offer sheet. Stecher can easily fill the void. He played pretty well, before his infection, that cost him his season and I also think they value Holloway way more than Broberg. Especially, at their given price.

Maybe offer sheeting both forces Edmonton to only match one. Even after finding a way to move some salary around onto IR or whatever I can’t see them being able to clear enough to match both. Shouldn’t have signed the FA’s this year before their young guys. Could have signed both these guys for much less at the start of the FA period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Wow 4.5mil is only a 2nd round pick? Now that the cap has risen so much, we'll probably see more offer sheets. The blues are essentially robbing the Oilers of their 2 former first round picks #8 and #14. lol, brutal.

JeremyCuddles Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Can Edmonton go 10 or 15% over the cap during the off season? Cause according to PuckPedia (I miss you capfriendly) they are 7.225mil over the cap already. Gotta be pushing that 10/15% limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since82 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Edmonton could still match the offers and then trade one or both of them; likely for more than a 2nd and 3rd. I love that St Louis is sticking it to them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
