Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues was with several members of the Edmonton Oilers when his GM gave offer sheets to Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg

Talk about what must have been an incredibly awkward moment! One of the biggest moments of the 2024 NHL offseason was when the St. Louis Blues added Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway from the Edmonton Oilers by way of offer sheets in August.  It turns out one of the members of the St. Louis Blues just happened to be with several members of the Edmonton Oilers, including stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, when the news of the offer sheets first broke.

During a Q&A session with reporters, St. Louis Blues alternate captain Robert Thomas was asked about the successful offer sheets. He revealed that he was with Edmonton Oilers players when news of the offer sheets started coming through on their phones. Thomas called it awkward, and said the Oilers’ players he was with weren’t too happy with Blues GM Doug Armstrong.
