After the San Jose Sharks traded for Cody Ceci, the Edmonton Oilers gained more cap space to potentially match two offer sheets. However, the Oilers decided against it and now lose Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway to the St. Louis Blues.
After the San Jose Sharks traded for Cody Ceci, the Edmonton Oilers gained more cap space to potentially match two offer sheets. However, the Oilers decided against it and now lose Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway to the St. Louis Blues.
The Sharks alleviated part of the cap space issue by acquiring Ceci's $3.25 million cap hit and were also given a 3rd-round pick. In return, San Jose sent Ty Emberson, who reunites with his old AHL head coach, Kris Knoblauch.
The Oilers theoretically replaced Ceci, Broberg, and Holloway with Emberson and Vasily Podkolzin, who was acquired from the Vancouver Canucks in an earlier trade.
Due to the offer sheet process, the Blues cannot trade Broberg or Holloway for one year.
