The Edmonton Oilers have made some huge free agency moves this off-season, but now it may leave them vulnerable to losing one or two young studs.

The Edmonton Oilers battled to force a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2024, and with the team wanting to go one step further, they added the likes of Victor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner to their already loaded forward group. While it's made them even better than they were last season, it has left them vulnerable to an offer sheet on not one, but two of their intriguing young names.

"While offer sheets are few and far between in the NHL, all it takes is one team that decides to try to disrupt things and sign a player on a cap-strapped team to an offer sheet to change things. Looking at who is left, Edmonton is a team that would find themselves in a tough spot if one of their restricted free agents, defenseman Philip Broberg and forward Dylan Holloway, were to eventually sign an offer sheet with another team." La Rose said.

That comes from Brian La Rose of Pro Hockey Rumors, who predicts that teams out there will look to force the issue in Edmonton, giving them a huge decision to make that will give new GM Stan Bowman even more headaches in his first year as General Manager.

While Broberg struggled to crack the lineup in 2023/24, the same can't be said for Holloway, who came up clutch down the stretch last season, tallying 6 goals in 38 games at the NHL level. The 22-year old Calgary native has drawn potential interest from his hometown team, who are just one of many teams that may look to disrupt the flow for the Oilers this off-season.

It's been a long time since we've seen an offer sheet in the NHL, so it's highly unlikely we see a team finally make the move, but if they do, it could change everything in Edmonton.
