The dumbest thing that Stan Bowman could do is to make CAP SPACE for Broberg by trading : 1) Codi Ceci and the 2026 & 2027 1st round draft picks FOR 7th round draft pick 2) Brett Kulak and the 2028 & 2029 1st round draft picks FOR 7th round draft pick Both players would make excellent rentals come TRADE DEADLINE for another 1st round draft pick from a Stanley Cup Contender resulting in providing a rebuilding team like CHICAGO or MONTREAL : THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS for ONE SEVENTH ROUND PICK ! And on top of that, CECI and KULAK are very good defensemen for their CAP HIT and would provide excellent depth for any contender. BETTER SOLUTION : Let Broberg walk and trade for the RIGHT HANDED defenseman JUSTIN BARRON The Montreal Canadiens are stocked with more promising RIGHT HANDED defensemen like Logan Mailloux and David Reinbacher who they have to keep in the minors because Justin Barron will definitely be claimed on waivers. So from the Montreal Canadiens point of view, better get TWO third round picks THAN nothing, This would make the Oilers defense look like this : 1) EKHOLM BOUCHARD 2) NURSE (A) BARRON ( As Alternate Captain Nurse must do more like to mentor BARRON ) 3) KULAK CECI 4) JOSH BROWN ( When muscle is needed )
Based on their playoffs performances, you need to keep both. The return is ridiculous... But mostly, you (Oilers) need to learn/implement a real development plan
4.5 million dollar for broberg is just totaly insane let The little boy go to st Louise blues so can they overpay him when he go back to The ahl llllooollll and keep holloway he is worth The money 2.2 for him is ok but not a penny more before he have realy been proving that he is a realy nhl player ok
Must keep Broberg and Holloway!!! They will be worth a Kings ransom on the open market in in the next 2 years!!! Letting them go for nothing would be criminal negligence by any definition the matter !!!
I think you gotra let broberg go. You cant compound a mistake with a another mistake....thats way too much money plus you are in the same situation in 2 years but hes going to want even more.
The OS still would have happened if Holland was GM. St. Louis does this all the time as they lead the NHL in tendering OS at 11 and Oilers lead NHL at OS tendering OS against them at 8 but 1 was voided by NHL
Broberg is soft ,wants too much money hasn't proven his worth yet. Holloway different story,he's ready for prime time. We need a tough dman with a mean streak now that we lost Vinny. Remember we got some good young defenceman in Bakerfeild. Or trade for one.
For no reason just to keep Broberg and Holloway, we have to trade two defence men. Is that making sense? Do think Broberg is playing better than CC (already traded to San Jose) and Kulak? The answer is No. Besides Broberg is not worth for 4m plus. Holloway is a bit over paid too. All we have blamed is Ken Holland left the unsolved the problem to the Oilers organization.
Ya, good thing Oilers didnt match, dumb dumb job by management to just leave them hangin and expect them to sit and wait to agree to a cheap cheap less than 1mil contract... terrible asset management

Wow, very deep and excellent comment! I should look into who this Barron guy is ! Thx!
I can hear other GMs around the league, sure we can take that contract off your hands, for a first round pick. 😅
Skid Broberg and Holloway……and pray they ever get a sniff at the cup.
Exactly, he wants to leave. Let him go.
Based on their playoffs performances, you need to keep both. The return is ridiculous... But mostly, you (Oilers) need to learn/implement a real development plan
Tough choices to be made, huge costs in order to keep both, and their won't be any wiggle room at TDL to improve
Simple, Keep Holloway, let Broberg Walk.
Yup
Best solution, Hollywood should be kept as an oiler, he plays with sweat and heart

Let them both walk.
hanslijla Yes, that is what I would do too.
It’s funny that you flap your gums about these 2 on the offer sheets, when you all quite possibly have the 2 worst contracts in the league….
@@scotte.2510 One for sure.
@@scotte.2510 oh oh, someone's poopy.

Thats gonna be tough to pull off.... Unless Kane will agree to go on LTIR.....
Broberg can go eat Swedish potato cakes down In St Louis! If Bowman overpays to keep him then this GM is Pistol Pete II 😂🤦
Let them both go as have made the FACT known that they don't want to be Oilers.
Broberg for sure , but probably Holloway signed the OS just to get a raise and figured the oil will probably try to retain him
I think you gotra let broberg go. You cant compound a mistake with a
another mistake....thats way too much money plus you are in the same situation in 2 years but hes going to want even more.
good riddance he is gone.... else just another whiner like Pulljajajajajajarvi
These two don’t want a cup
I guess cash is better than MAYBE getting your name etched on the cup....

Holland is friends with Armstrong and rumour has it he waited until arbitration was over and Holland was gone. Everyone hates nepo baby Bowman

yes, a thought dman would be nice now that Mr Nurse has forgotten how to play tough
