Based on comments from Friedman, I’m flipping. Keep Holloway, send Broberg and agent packing on the next flight.
|
what'd Friedman say.. I'm guessing his agent conspired with St. louis and/or were never going to sign in Edm.. thus dragging out negotiations long enough where Oilers was in its weakest cap position and couldn't match?
|
Essentially Broberg and agent were still demanding trade. And probably dragging things out.
What you suggest would line up.
|
Heard that he also said that if Holland was GM the offer sheet would not have happened because of Hockey Canada Bro Code or something. Lol. Oh well. There are greater consequences to keeping Holland as GM.
|
Honestly, I don't feel any animosity towards the players for this. They have to take care of themselves. Broberg's been offered probably 3 times what the Oilers were proposing to pay him this year. Who among us would turn down an extra $5-6MM over the next couple of years? It's easy to say, "hey, you're young and you'll have plenty time to make your money!" but the reality is that players' careers are short and fragile. If he blows out a knee or gets a bad concussion, he could be out of the league and what he signs for is all he gets.
He's been frustrated at the team for a while and he doesn't have to sign anything we put in front of him, so I don't think it's stringing along the team really. Especially if he thought there was a market to get him $4.5MM per year (which, of course, there was).
I don't blame his agent either. The player has felt he's NHL ready for some time, and the Oilers buried him in the minors for most of this year still. That flipped in the playoffs and he was playing above a bunch of these guys he'd been stuck behind. If you were a confident young player, that would be frustrating, whether it's the right move for the team or not.
As a free agent, players are free to talk to other teams about signing them. The Oilers knew that was a risk, but they hadn't left themselves cap space and were trying to convince these two to take low dollar deals to kick that problem down the road. Totally reasonable for the team to try, and a tactic they'd used successfully in past summers, but there was always a risk there. Honestly, we're lucky this is happening this year with Broberg and not last year with Bouchard.
