Two offer sheets have been made, and it's causing a stir
It's quite rare to see offer sheets in the NHL, but now there are two that have been announced, and both players come from the same team.
Indeed, the Edmonton Oilers are trapped under the salary cap, so their defenseman Philip Broberg and forward Dylan Holloway have received offers from the St. Louis Blues.
The Blues' GM isn't joking around, and he won't make any friends in Edmonton or across the League. If we recall, Marc Bergevin shot himself in the foot with his offer sheet for Sebastian Aho. The Hurricanes' owner still holds a grudge against the Canadiens, even though the administration has changed since then.
Philip Broberg has received a two-year offer worth $4,580,917 per year, while Dylan Holloway has been offered $2,290,457 for two years as well.
The compensation would be a 2nd round pick for Broberg and a 3rd round pick for Holloway, if the Oilers allow both players to go to the Blues.
The Oilers now have 7 days to make their decision. This will definitely spice up the trade market, which has been fairly quiet for the past few weeks.
Will Kent Hughes get involved? It's known that the GM has enough room to accept a bad contract in exchange for compensation. The question now is what the Oilers' strategy will be-whether to lose two young players for draft picks or keep them and spend a pick to get rid of a contract.
