I think these "screw you" things ignore the fact that if Grier had wanted to, he could have offe sheeted those players at those amounts and paid only a 2nd and 3rd round pick if the Oilers didn't match. I don't think there's a lot of incentive for them to pay more than what St. Louis stands to give up, in order to screw over the Blues and get the player at the same dollar figure.
He'd also hold all the cards in the negotiation, because there would be literally no other team in his position. If he says no, then you can't do it with the next lowest team, for fear of San Jose grabbing that player for nothing.
Love the creativity of Oilers fans, but I think it's a binary decision regarding both players here. Either you sign him and keep him, or you let him go and take the draft pick.
FWIW, I've come to think that the Oilers will (and probably should) match only Holloway. He'd be getting similar dollars to what Ryan McLeod made last year, so it's not crazy money. Even on eventual free agency, that's not a ridiculous qualifying offer that you need to give. With Broberg, he is ideally a LD, and our area of greatest need is a RD, so we can't commit that much money to him. Wish him all the best in St. Louis, and then keep your eyes open for another right defenceman to help fill the void.
Personally, I don't like the UFA options at the moment as most are PP quarterbacks and we already have one of those. They don't have a lot of other huge strengths to their game.

Who cares
I'd do it even it SJ only offered a 2nd and 3rd just as a big F off to Armstrong, Broberg/Holloway and their agents.. it would end predatory offer sheets.. if as a player you accept an offer.. you can get waived to the worst team in the league.. accepting an offer sheet is changed from a no risk option.. to an option with career consequences.
But SJ would offer more.. they have zero cap issues and both players are young and bonifide NHL'ers.. SJ has some good prospects and 2 1st rounders next year.. getting Broberg and Holloway.. and even just Broberg would advance SJ's competitive timeline substantially .. their NHL roster is rifle butt ugly
