There is definitely other factors for both but they only move the salary so much. Have to remember most 34-36 pt forwards are only getting paid around 3.5, so I feel that 5.5-6 million is accounting for some of those factors. Don't get me wrong, I like Holloway and expect him to bounce back to 60-70 pts next year but there hasn't been a track record yet. That's why I think the bridge deal is inevetiable
There are many key factors man. Why did Broberg get 5 million (massive raise) averaging 11 minutes?
Once again he didn't. He is earning 4.58, can even say 4.6 if you want but not 5. Second, it was clear Edmonton was sand bagging him for the next contract like the cardinals have done to keep certain players affordable. He was going to sign with anyone who was going to pay him anything because he knew that was happening. He was clearly a casualty of personal management
Sand bagging lol. Armstrong was lying when he said he overpaid? You’re all over the place.
Not all over the place at all. Yes, Armstrong overpaid based off the production both had but that was because he was betting on their talent and based off the playoffs he thought Edmonton was sand bagging Broberg. Why do you think they were so (upset) when we signed him? Screwed up their whole plan for roster management. I have to admit I'm not even sure what your arguing. Do you think he is going to get 6.5? Unless he catches fire and gets back up to 55-65 pts this year the long term 8x8 isn't happening. So what do you think he is going to get?
Catches fire? He’s up there with team leaders for goals. Have you looked at their stats? He plays more than Schenn and hits as much.

Ice time + production matters for Holloway but not Broberg is what you argued. It’s funny
No I'm saying he has 1 less point than Pius Suter who we are paying 4.125 a year. League value isn't based off the numbers you are putting up against only your teammates but the entire league. Once again when it comes to defenseman.. ice time and pairing are the key factors... average salary for first pairing defenseman with 22-25 minutes a night is between 9-11 million. So Yes Broberg is being penalized for lack of points when you look at my evaluation

Broberg has way fewer goals than Faulk who gets 6. Something. Great comp

Why are you wasting your time arguing with the forums biggest liar?
If you want to make fun of the multi banned, multi ID gay loser…..go ahead….but don’t argue with him. He’ll just lie, and then claim victory even when you obviously kicked the (bleep) out of him.

When he clips your posts…it means he knows he’s losing. Next comes the lies.
It’s kinda funny but sad at the same time.

How do you think people interpret it when you call older posters “Gerry” and talk about them sitting in recliners?

This is fun. I await the sincere acknowledgment and response.

I’m starting to think that maybe Holloway could be the trade chip for another nhl level defenseman. I think he’ll get his game going again, but our organizational depth is still at wing. And I’d prefer to trade Buch, but I don’t think he brings anything of value back right now.

last weekend the moderator of this site stated to me personally that 'gray boy' was not one.

at first I was blown away at just how many levels of failure were involved in that reply, but then more things made sense

1. he didnt make 5 million.
2. we were clearly trying to make an offer we knew edmonton wouldnt want to match so we could gain control of his future

He calls me a “gay loser”…and then says it’s unfortunate that “I took it that way.” I mean there’s so many ways people can interpret that.

Cowards can’t stand behind their own thoughts/statements.

Hilarious
