Blues tender offer sheets to Oilers defenceman Broberg, forward Holloway
ST. LOUS, Miss. -
The St. Louis Blues tendered offer sheets to Edmonton Oilers defenceman Philip Broberg and forward Dylan Holloway on Tuesday.
The Blues have offered a two-year contract at $4.58 million a season to Broberg and a two-year contract at $2.29 million a season to Holloway.
Edmonton has seven days to match the offers for the two restricted free agents. If the Oilers don't match, they'll receive a second-round pick for Broberg and a third-round pick for Holloway as compensation.
To satisfy NHL requirements in issuing the offer sheet to Broberg, the Blues also announced a trade with Pittsburgh to reacquire their second-round pick in next year's draft. St. Louis also added a 2026 fifth-round draft pick while sending the Penguins a 2026 second-round selection and a 2025 third-round pick.
Broberg, a 23-year-old Swede, was drafted eighth overall by Edmonton in 2019 and produced two goals and one assist in 10 games during Edmonton's run to the Stanley Cup final.
Edmonton drafted Holloway 14th overall in 2020. The 22-year-old from Calgary had six goals and three assists in 38 games last season, and added five goals and two assists in 25 playoff games.
The Oilers had no immediate comment on the Blues’ move.
The last team to issue an offer sheet was Carolina in 2021, when the Hurricanes landed centre Jesperi Kotkaniemi from Montreal after the Canadiens failed to match the offer.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong is seeking to fast-forward his rebuilding plan for a team that has missed the playoffs in each of the past two seasons. Meanwhile, the Oilers are currently projected to be more than $354,000 over the cap after they lost the Stanley Cup Final in seven games to Florida.
Matching the offers would add close to $6.88 million to the Oilers’ total. Teams have until the start of the season to be under the cap.
Stan Bowman was hired in July as the Oilers' general manager to replace Ken Holland, whose contract was not renewed.
