The Duke Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Awesome. Will be fascinating to see how Oilers respond. Broberg is a name with some serious upside, but he averaged under 16 minutes a night in the playoffs. And has less than 82 total games in the NHL. Coil gotta be SURE he’s a #3-4 in a hurry if they’re giving him 4.5 mil. Being young is nice, but this is a win-now group: and if he’s making veteran money, that takes a lot of shine off the age factor. Basically same goes with Holloway as well.. this is a team that just got Skinner for 3 mil. Guys chasing a cup are who they can try and fill the roster with. I doubt it happens but if I’m Bowman I’d let them both walk. (Assuming I can’t move contracts like Kane or Nurse.)

They can't afford to go into the season with an aging Ekholm as their only NHLer on the blueline. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 So the Oilers have seven days to figure out or make trades to make this work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Fun fact: There's been 44 offer sheets. Oilers have been involved with 10 out of the 44. St. Louis has been in 14 of the 44. I forgot that Scott Stevens is the only NHLer to have been offer sheeted twice. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureQuickness Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Jeez, this deal is super interesting. I have nothing to add to this discussion, aside from the fact that the Oilers are screwed either way, as many other posters before me has written before. Just like other people, I'd really be curious as to how Oilers proceed with this. Maybe they'll end up trading someone with a higher cap space for a cheap price in order to make room. Maybe Nurse with 50 percent retention lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastExpress Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 4 hours ago, HKSR said: When they try to unload cap, it'll probably COST them 2nd and 3rd round picks haha Nobody is gonna do them any favours when they just went to Game 7 of the Finals. To move a guy like Ceci, it'll probably be at least a 2nd round pick attached. To move Kane, it'd be a 1st+ lol perhaps Canucks can offer to bail them out by taking Nugent-Hopkins if they retain %50. they would then be able to match without going over %7 of the cap in off season.

EastCoastExpress Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 6 minutes ago, BPA said: Kane will go on LTIR and magically return when the playoffs begin. Kane cant go into LTIR till season starts and Oil cannot match without making a move now. Can only go %7 over cap in off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 5 hours ago, shiznak said: I would imagine they would just put Kane on LTIR and trade Ceci, if they were to match? Am I the only one who thinks Broberg is a bit overrated, because he shown flashes during their playoff run? He couldn’t even be a regular in their lineup, despite being thin on defense. He’s certainly not worth 4.5m. This is where the 2 years comes in they can’t afford to match without unloading more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettlevalley Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Being almost 10 percent over the cap without these players will make the next week interesting. Oilers need to unload a pricey player to sign them. The blues must get at least one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 2 hours ago, Coconuts said: They have to assume Kane will be back at some point, so his going on LTIR doesn't really solve the problem his cap hit presents He's in the driver's seat regarding any trade too If they're moving someone it'll probably have to be Ceci its too bad, because moving Ceci makes them better. Oh well, they'll have to bleed a 1st at least to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Heard coming out of Stan Bowman's office in Edmonton ".... Can someone PLEASE find me the number for Tonya Harding?" Remember when we said that Edmonton was going to regret signing Kane long term??? Ahhhhhhh memories....
