I don’t know. They replaced crap with cheaper crap. Apparently Brown is the worst player in the nhl.
The forwards might be slightly better who knows. Smaller older and slower. Pk got worse. And the backend is in shambles.

The more I look at it they likely will. Broberg and Holloway add up to $6.85MM, currently $1.95MM in cap space. They move Kane to LTIR @ $5.125MM and they are compliant with a full roster.

Maybe it’s all part of the negotiation.

This is important for sure
Is he re-signing?
If yes, Then let the offersheeted players go and replace them with better value for years of runs
If no, how do you go about going for broke this year?

Which is amusing, since Stan Bowman only got the GM's gig in Chicago because Dale Tallon slept on signing his RFAs.

Did he sleep on signing them or did he forget to file paperwork to qualify them?

At that, Emberson might give him a run for his money. Waiver-wire acquisition who only got into 30 games for the worst team by far in the league, and pretty much played 3rd-pairing minutes in those games.
On the bright side, it doesn't matter which one is the worst, because the Oilers have both!

Well they aren’t winning anything with a 2nd pairing of Nurse and Stecher and a 3rd pairing of Kulak and Brown.
I guess we will see how pissy, pissy looks during camp and if they tried to nickel and dime him.

Forgot to qualify them… but since that's the first step, I'd say it counts as sleeping on signing them.

Make them a pairing. Will make for great times.

No matter what, it moved pissy conversations out by a week. That’s worth something!
The more I think about it, the more I think that they don’t match either player. Someone has to be figuring out what they can get for the combined contracts, especially if Kane won’t play the LTIR game. Are the 2 players for 2 years the best use of that money?
Or sign both!
Haha it’s great because both are negative.

Here I was thinking Bowman might sleep in and forget go match because the 7:30 deadline sneaks up on him.

He only got into 30 games because of a series of injuries. While he’s no all star, neither is he Josh Brown.

Bowman does sleep in because he’s up late sweeping things under the rug.

What amusing is all this 'the hockey world is waiting and watching' crap.
Nobody outside Edminton, Calgary and maybe St Louis cares any. At all. Typical Oiler fluffing

Pretty low chance either of those picks remain oilers property after the trade deadline.

Have you decided to give up your fandom of the Oilers ? Bowman still isn’t fired.

That’s true, will be the usual deadline trade for a washed up forward to play on the 4th line.

I thought the rumour was that Bowman as AGM of the Hawks was supposed to take care of the qualifying offers and he messed it up. Then Tallon took the blame.
