It was reported before free agency that Holloway was seeking 1.2 and Broberg 1.8 million. Oilers thought they held the cards on the RFA's and could low ball them thinking everyone will take a payout to play with Mcdrai. So they went and resigned Perry and got Arvidsson and Skinner cause you can't have enough forwards. Then once they got offer sheeted the narrative switched to how these guys just wanted money and really didn't want to be there.
