Ideas from the media
Bob Stauffer: “Relating to the St. Louis supply sheets on Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway…
#1. That is enterprise, Blues are deploying a mechanism throughout the CBA.
#2. The @EdmontonOilers have per week to match.
#3. If the Oilers match on a participant…he can’t be traded for a 12 months. Tons in play right here!”
Jim Matheson: “The Oilers could also be compelled to commerce Ceci and his $3.25m for yet another 12 months or Kulak (two years at $2.75m per) on cap if the determine they’ll’t lose a younger D in Broberg to supply sheet. Normally groups worth younger D over younger wingers in the event that they should determine on supply sheet match”
Andy Stickland: “Fairly effectively thought out strategic transfer by the #stlblues to reaquire a 2nd spherical choose from Pitt. Edm with $3 mil in useless cash between Campbell and Neal places them in a nasty spot. Edm lacks younger established gamers within the org , this might decimate Edm youth of their lineup with one sub 25 12 months outdated in Bouchard. Plus with upcoming negotiations with Draisaitl and Bouchard coming.”
Ryan Rishaug: “Oilers undoubtedly in a troublesome spot with these supply sheets. Kanes well being standing turns into much more necessary with the potential for LTIR aid, however even at that, will probably be powerful to maintain each gamers. 2 coordinated supply sheets at a group totally strapped. Aggressive focused transfer by Blues”
David Pagnotta: “Of be aware, gamers should agree and signal a proposal sheet, they aren’t merely on the mercy of the group pitching the supply. On this case, each Broberg & Holloway agreed to offers with the Blues, which the Oilers have 7 days to match or take draft choose compensation for both or each.”
Jim Biringer: “Fast Observe right here however with @Bob_Stauffer popping out with that be aware about Evander Kane needing surgical procedure & might miss the beginning of the season and be on LTIR that might give the Oilers the cash to match & permit them to determine how one can transfer cash afterward.”
Andy Strickland: “You’d suppose the #StlBlues would be capable to get no less than one of many two. The Evander Kane damage scenario may very well be a wildcard”
Ryan Pike: “Your annual reminder that LTIR isn’t a magic wand. If Evander Kane is anticipated to solely miss *some* time this season, the Oilers can’t actually clear up all their cap issues by stashing him away to begin the 12 months.”
Daniel Nugent-Bowman: “That’s an actual wrench for the Oilers’ cap and/or depth chart relying on the end result (whether or not they match). This state of affairs was at all times on the desk in spite of everything these July 1 signings.”
Lowetide: “With the dual supply sheets simply delivered to Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg by the St. Louis Blues, it’s value noting each of them (together with Stuart Skinner) are completely key to the Oilers enhancements in 2024-25.”
JFresh: “Straightforward resolution to for EDM to stroll away from Broberg and preserve Holloway. Exterior probability Broberg turns into the 2LD of the long run however a cap Cup contender can’t have their third pairing man making $4.6M.”
Charlie O’Connor: “I do marvel if a not insignificant a part of the rationale why Armstrong was prepared to do it’s because he’s already determined/introduced that he’s retiring from the GM place in 2026.”
Marco D’Amico: “IMO, this can be a play for Broberg by the St Louis, with Holloway being the distraction. Sensible use of supply sheeting right here.”
Charlie O’Connor: “After all the cap hits/contracts on the supply sheets (significantly for Broberg) are overpays for what they’re now. That’s the one approach a proposal sheet works. You’re paying each to make it cost-prohibitive for the opposite group to match, & b/c you consider within the gamers’ upsides.”
Cam Robinson: “We respect the enjoyable, St Louis… but it surely’s a straightforward option to take the 2nd spherical choose as a substitute of paying Broberg 4.6M and blowing the inner cap setup and never having sufficient to pay Draisaitl. Holloway a straightforward match.”
Anthony Di Marco: “Most ppl I’ve spoken with are of the idea that #stlblues will stroll away with one of many gamers – most certainly Philip Broberg. Total a constructive response from league executives for the aggressive play by STL; does this open up using the supply sheet going ahead?”
- Brandon Holmes: “I simply love the chaos brought on by the Blues placing by way of each of those supply sheets on the similar time, as a result of it places the Oilers in such an uncomfy place with their roster plans. Kane happening IR would solely clear up the issue briefly, they should do one thing ultimately.”
- Brandon Holmes: “Holloway we predict will get matched, however they’ll have to ultimately clear about $2.75M to do it. The plain commerce candidates to clear that quantity are Kulak or Ceci, however do you actually need to commerce a defenseman with Broberg out the door? Rock and a tough place, love the chaos.”
- Brandon Holmes: “Clearly if it’s important to select between Holloway and Kulak/Ceci long run you are taking Holloway, however for a group with Cup aspirations in 2025 I don’t suppose they’re excited to make Brown an each evening starter”
Not for nothing, that is the precise AAV that I discussed with you in July that made sense for Broberg. It’s the proper poison capsule – simply sufficient to make them uncomfortable, not sufficient to make #stlblues uncomfortable.
