If I was the agent for Broberg and Holloway, and had been working on offer sheets since July, I would just have been stringing Jackson along with excuses. Like wanting to wait for the new GM to be hired to negotiate. Maybe Jackson would have felt like something is up, but he has also been busy with the GM hire and figuring out McDrai. Broberg in general may have never had any intention to stay here for any contract that would have been reasonable, and the offersheet prospect is the only reason he didn't ask for a trade.
I imagine Jackson is also not that comfortable with most of the GM role. He happily signed UFA's and some guys that were really excited to stay. Made some prospect trades with extremely willing GM's. He didn't really have to deal with anything difficult as the interim GM.

If you look at the last few summers with guys like McLeod and Yamamoto and even Bouchard coming up for RFA contracts, the Oilers handled them the same way. Waited deep in to the summer, pressured the players by pointing out there was no cap space, so they needed to do cheap bridge deals. The Oilers were really spooked when Draisaitl was coming up on his last RFA deal that someone would throw a big offer sheet, but for guys down the roster, I think they've just assumed they're safe and people won't play that game.
Honestly, it's bonkers that it doesn't happen more when you look at how cheap the acquisition cost is for RFAs and I'm sure the only reasons we don't see more is that teams are A) afraid of retribution and B) feel that it's probably futile if the other team is just going to match anyhow. But considering teams like Tampa have been up against the Cap for ages, it's shocking no one has been messing with their salary grid this way.
EDIT - just having looked at all the other teams at the cap though, none have left any RFAs of any note open...just us. Oops.
