Recent developments, including trades for Vasily Podkolzin and Ty Emberson, suggest that the Oilers' decision could be imminent.
Over the past week, the Edmonton Oilers have been grappling with a significant decision regarding Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. Both players received restricted free-agent offers from the St. Louis Blues, prompting the Oilers to consider their next steps.
In response to these offers, the Oilers executed trades to bring Vasily Podkolzin and Ty Emberson into their lineup. These moves have raised questions about the future of Holloway and Broberg with the Oilers.
With the deadline to match the offers approaching quickly, a recent update has further fueled speculation. Observers have noted that both Holloway and Broberg are no longer listed on the Oilers' official roster page.
While this removal from the roster is not official confirmation of their departure, it serves as a strong indicator of the Oilers' current position. The recent trades, alongside the missing players from the roster, suggest that the Oilers might not match the offers and that Holloway and Broberg could be heading to St. Louis to join the Blues.
