He's actually correct, but it's hilarious that the narrative has swung 180 in 24 hours!

I wonder if as late as yesterday the Oilers were going to match the Broberg one. But maybe the likes of McDavid and Draisaitl chimed in and changed their mind. Something along the lines of you traded a guy we like who wanted to be here to keep a guy who doesn't...so the Oilers than begged the Blues for a future 3rd to not match the Broberg one.
The moves on Sunday to me indicated they'd let Holloway go, but we're clearing space to keep Broberg. Ceci is not great but he could play with Nurse and let the rest of the team outscore that problem. Not sure this current group will offer that. Sure they can beef up later for the playoffs...but if they don't cobble up a 16 game win streak that might not be such a sure thing.
