Edmonton's decision to pass on Broberg/Holloway looking so much better just now
66% Informative
Edmonton 's failure to sign Broberg and Holloway was and always will be a major screw-up by the Oilers .
The money used to pay Walman and Klingberg this year is arguably the same money that the Oilers could have used to match the offer sheets, at least if the Oilers had been in an aggressive and risk-taking mood last August when new GM Stan Bowman had to make that call.
At the same time, Klingberg and Walman represent an excellent use of that cap space.
Oilers lost Broberg and Holloway , but brought in two strong defenders to replace them.
Oilers coach Stan Bowman made a solid decision not to match on Broberg or Holloway .
Bowman used cap space first to bring in veteran free-agent d-men John Klingberg and Jake Walman , with the team also trading for Trent Frederic .
