Stan Bowman owns up to backlash from Edmonton Oilers fans following first move as general manager
The first big deal under Stan Bowman in Edmonton has transpired, and he has drawn a ton of aggression from fans afterward.
Doug Armstrong sought to ruin the Oiler's week, and he accomplished it easily, as he offer-sheeted Dylan Holloway and defenseman Philip Broberg.
Of course, the Oilers being a contending team, are pressed against the cap and wouldn't have the money to sign either Broberg or Holloway.
Broberg's deal with the Blues is a two-year $4.58 Million total deal, while Holloway's contract is $2.2 Million AAV, over the next two years.
Needless to say, he hasn't done much to win fans favor in Chicago or Edmonton, as he let them ransack their prospect pool.
According to PuckPedia the Oilers have $945K in salary cap space, and even after jettisoning, Cody Ceci they haven't been helped out much.
