They did have a choice though - not an easy one but they could have kept both.
Obviously ideally Amstrongs golfing partner wouldn't have let it get to this point but even when the offer sheets came in they had a choice.
I thought/think Holloway is replaceable..I would have let him enjoy a million extra in St Louis and likely miss the playoffs.
Can't let the D-man walk though. Especially on this team - Brobergs salary is tough but it's only 2 years. I think they will regret not finding a way to make it work.
