The clock is ticking for the Edmonton Oilers to decide whether or not to match the dual offer sheets put forward by the St. Louis Blues. The Oilers have until Tuesday morning to make their choices on Philip Broberg's two-year offer at $4,580,917 per season and Dylan Holloway's offer of $2,290,457 per year on a two-year term.
The clock is ticking for the Edmonton Oilers to decide whether or not to match the dual offer sheets put forward by the St. Louis Blues.Edmonton would receive a second-round pick back Broberg if the team elected not to match his deal and a third-round pick back Holloway if the team allowed him to join the Blues.TSN's Ryan Rishaug wrote Sunday that his gut feeling after the trades is the Oilers will match on Broberg, while the Holloway situation continues to feel up in the air.
Shelving Kane on LTIR, though, could be only a short-term solution for Edmonton. Rishaug reported last this week that he believes surgery is the most likely course of action for Kane, who is not likely to be ready for training camp and could be out several months. The Oilers would eventually need to clear cap space to reinstate him onto the roster should he recover before the end of the regular season.
It's unclear if the Oilers see more than a depth role for Emberson on their roster after Sunday's trade. The 24-year-old had one goal and nine assists for 10 points in 30 games last season, averaging 18:32 of ice time as a rookie. He is signed at a $950,000 cap hit this season.
