Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman recently addressed the situation surrounding the St. Louis Blues' offer sheets to Oilers' RFAs Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.
On Aug. 10, the St. Louis Blues signed both players to two-year deals, with Philip Broberg earning $4.58 million yearly and Dylan Holloway $2.29 million. In a conversation with TSN's Pierre LeBrun, Stan Bowman emphasized that despite losing two key players, there's no bad blood between him and Blues GM Doug Armstrong.
Stan Bowman acknowledged that while the loss of Broberg and Holloway is significant, he holds no animosity toward Armstrong, noting that their long-standing relationship remains intact.
«Doug is a bright guy and a good person. I don't have any issues with him,» Stan Bowman said.
Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway played pivotal roles in the Oilers' deep playoff run last season, and their departure marks a major shift for the Edmonton Oilers. Still, Stan Bowman remains professional about the situation, understanding it as part of the business.
Doug Armstrong echoed similar sentiments, stating that while Stan Bowman likely didn't want to lose the players, both GMs understand they were making the best decisions for their respective teams.
