Have played at least 80 NHL games if a forward or defenseman..." Philip Broberg Career Stats: GP 81 Oilers played him on April 17 and 18, thereby exposing him to an offer sheet. Keep him off the bench for 2 meaningless games and he is not eligible for the offer sheet. "Asset management" is not in the Oilers' dictionary. Do playoff games count toward the total? If they don't.. Oilers really screwed up. Regular season only. Issue would be, his agent would know this and likely would have been pressuring for Broberg to get over the 80 game mark. And Holland is such a nice guy, he probably kept Broberg in as long as he did to try to work the relationship. MacT once shut Drai down 1 game before he would have burned an RFA year and that came back to bite us a bit with his agent. Players/agents know what's up. Considering the Broberg relationship was already kinda sour, I wouldn't have given in and let them get the 80 games. He'd be holding out right now asking for a trade, and we could try to work a better trade for the org after his playoffs. Oh well though, Holland is out. Somebody really F'd up here then. How do you NOT have a guy/system who monitors EVERY players RFA/UFA/contract status in real time? Giving our management the benefit of the doubt that they did know, but let him his 80 anyways. In general Holland didn't seem to care about our cap or what ppl would deal with after he would be gone, hence the Connor Brown deal and bonuses for Perry. Also, Holland seems to always take the nice generous guy approach with most things. Can afford to, the generational talents will always come through in the end, right? :) I believe this was debunked as not being factual. A few of the posts have been deleted. Lacking a source though.

That the org knew? Or didn't know?

Or about how a manager can just do whatever if they have a generational talent, and things will always just work out?
