No Cups

As per NHL.com, the Oilers decline to match St. Louis's offer.

https://www.nhl.com/news/philip-broberg-dylan-holloway-join- st-louis-edmonton-doesnt-match-offers

Fascinating bit of commentary the Oilers implicitly make. They clear sufficient cap space to match both offers, clearly telling the Blues (and the players) "we can match if we want to". The organizational refusal to match, then, indicates that they think the contracts are both overpays and not worth matching. Gotta give Bowman & Jackson credit: even if they're wrong in their bet, they are putting their money (or in this case NOT putting their money) where their mouth is. I like the declarative statement, even if I would have made a different bet in this case.

Also of note - the Blues send the Oilers a 3rd-round pick in 2028 and the rights to an unsigned 2023 5th-rounder (Paul Fischer) for 'future considerations'. So perhaps the Oilers cleared the cap space in order to press the Blues for greater compensation for Broberg and Holloway.

Either way, kudos to management for their handling of the offer sheets. Again, I would have made a different decision (I would have matched both contracts), but I like that they cleared the space to match both if they wanted to.
