He mentioned the Holloway and Broberg signings as worst-case examples. The cap limits of <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Oilers</a> were reached last summer. Having already spent to re-sign Adam Henrique, Mattias Janmark, and Corey Perry, and signing Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner, they could not afford to match the Blues' offers for Holloway and Broberg.

Florida would also have $19 million at their disposal but can choose to re-sign core UFAs Sam Bennett and Aaron Ekblad. It is going to be a very interesting summer in terms of offer sheets, as the salary cap goes up significantly.
