The Oilers did the right thing not to match the offer sheets. They chose to chase money and put the organization into a dilemma while the organization is building a win or bust culture. Can’t keep players who are not aligned. Also it will affect the morales of veteran players who took friendly deals to re-sign. No grudges against the 2 players but they might regret their decisions. From a big picture perspective, the 2 players gone and Ceci traded, that solve Oilers’ salary caps to have flexibility and potential to build a more formidable team by trade deadline. So yes, very astute decisions and strategic moves by Oilers. In fact, I felt sorry for the 2 players to be blindsided by their agents’ greed.

@@itaintobeezy I did turn down big money because it didn’t fit into my career progression. Not in the same magnitude but same principle.

It's not franchise changing. For example they added Henrique rather easily and he's better than Holloway.

Agreed, I think it was a mistake not to match Holloway offer from St. Louis blues ! having said that I also understand Oilers are in a tough spot in this situation.

The Oilers will pull a Vegas/Tampa move and place Kane on LTIR and load up at the deadline and bring Kane back for the playoffs

I think you're looking at your stat line wrong, 16 pts in 34 games, -3 rating with 30pims. looks like another liability Dman (nurse) on paper.

Old Oilers fan thinks the Oilers should have paid for their bad decision(Holland ) of not signing both Holloway and Broberg when they could have had them at reasonable prices. All the smoke and mirrors signing a group of nobodies might come back to bite them in the ass and frankly I secretly hope it does.
