So I don't think it quite reaches the 10% but they are royally screwed and are going to get bent over a barrel no matter what. This puts a smile on my face lol Right, after some investigation you are correct they can match right now and be compliant. Come 1st day, they got to get over 7 mil off the books, and Kane on LTIR is not enough... The worst part is they need to figure out Dryercycle too and these two contracts are 2 years... Its funny, for sure. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they skipped a few oil changes signing skinner instead of their RFA's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is all on the Oilers management team! I love that these guys get the Bag from either team due to management not taking care of them sooner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got the team to the finals. I'd happily lose 3 Brobergs if it means going to the finals again lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTueyCanucksFan Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If we had the cap available next year, it would be hilarious to sign Bouchard to an offer sheet this time next year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTramFan Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If the Oilers choose to match the offer sheets, they can place E Kane on LTIR at any time (as long as he is going to miss the first 10 games of next season). That saves them $5.15m until he returns healthy. They can save another $2.15m by waiving Brown and Ceci before the season starts, and they would be compliant with a 20-man roster. However, a 20-man roster is not ideal and Kane will likely return in-season, so seems more likely that they will take the compensation for Broberg (2nd round pick) and match the offer for Holloway. Then they only need to place E Kane on LTIR in order to be cap compliant to start the season. They'd have a 21-man roster with $2.5m in cap space. Add a couple of depth guys to fill out to a 23-man roster and they will be fine to start the season. The bigger problem is what happens when Kane is healthy? They are going to have to pay to cap dump E Kane prior to returning to full health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton will 100% walk away from Broberg. It's 50/50 with Holloway as he will screw up their cap and Edmonton also has to plan for next season. Simply putting Kane on LTIR won't fix the problem because eventually he will need to come back on to the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broberg is one of their up and coming defenders. 4.5 is an overpayment, sure, but walking away from Broberg is 100 percent a mistake for Edmonton. I expect them to keep Broberg.

Why would they take a 2nd round pick for a 8th overall that actually shows a lot of promise? People don't seem to understand how good Broberg is.

Someone should offer sheet Bouchard at 15mil next year, some teams could do it. DO IT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain how Edmonton is going to fit Broberg's almost $4.6 million cap hit on their roster for this season and next season? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
