Brian Lawton was on Stauffer yesterday.. talked about the offer sheets.. and gave his honest opinions.. great insight.. worth a listen
https://globalnews.ca/edmonton/program/oilers-now-with-bob-s tauffer
Staples reviewed his discussion with Stauffer here;
https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey /i-would-never-let-him-go-former-nhl-gm-says-edmonton-oilers -should-keep-philip-broberg
He'd absolutely keep Broberg .. rightly says young defensemen that can play top 4 are very rare in the NHL, and almost impossible to acquire.. said as a GM he always valued defencemen highly (i.e. as TB GM he vetoed his scouts and picked Hedman over Duschene).. he also said matching Broberg will force the Oilers to make decisions they've wobbled on.. and probably needed to make.. eventually.. overall he thinks the Oilers are likely to be a better team after its all been played out.. I assume Ceci and/or Kulak?
He also mentioned he expects P. Coffey's opinion of Broberg will be considered in the decision.
However.. in the worse, worse case .. if it all turns to crap.. and he doesn't work out next season.. and his play in the past playoffs was a mirage .. you can always buy him out for 1/3 (being a RFA) after one year..
He was less certain about matching Holloway.
Every time I listen to Lawton I wonder why he isn't a GM somewhere.. and most recently .. why he wasn't picked over Bowman.
|
It was a great listen. I wish Stauffer touched on how or if it throws a wrench in the "take less to win" plans of the big three. I mean the newsprint wasn't even dry on those stories and two unproven players on the roster are soaking up the discounts on McDavid, Draisatl and Bouchard's deals.
|
I think the offer sheets highlight what happens when a team is perpetually up against the cap trying to win the Cup.. your RFA's become risk of offer sheets.. might factor in Draisatl's and McDavid's decisions on contract requests.. they can rightfully demand, and get, huge contracts.. but.. while it maximizes their financial portfolios.. their Cup chances will be lowered as their probability of playing with high skilled/valued players diminishes.. could turn out to be a sobering moment at the right time in negotiations..
Big picture.. I'd also argue McDavid and Draisatl can probably make more in promotional work than any NHL contract discount they might consider.. and even increase that promotional work with successful Cup runs.. especially Draisatl.. being McDavid's franchise co-pilot is a pretty golden professional/financial opportunity
