The Edmonton Oilers were put in quite a tricky situation this week when the St. Louis Blues tendered two offer sheets to players Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. Holloway was given a two-year deal with an annual average value of $2.3M, and Broberg a two-year deal worth $4.58-million.
Podkolzin, the tenth overall pick in the 2019 NHL draft has not quite made it out of the AHL as a permanent NHLer, but has looked good in play at the second level. Holloway only broke out as an NHLer this past season, so the deal makes a lot of sense as they will be able to surround him with a strong supporting forward group.
