Oilers remove Holloway and Broberg from roster: what does it mean?

Last week, the St. Louis Blues hit them with a knucklepuck by signing the forward in Holloway and blueline in Broberg, to offer sheets. This has put the Oilers in a financial bind, forcing them to make some tough decisions.

In response, the Oilers have made a few moves to create some breathing room, like trading for Vasily Podkolzin from the Canucks and sending Cody Ceci to the Sharks.

But now, the clock is ticking. By Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM Eastern Time, the Oilers have to decide whether to match the offer sheets or let these guys go. We're all guessing what they'll do, but here's something interesting: yesterday, both Holloway and Broberg were still listed on the Oilers' online roster. Today? They're gone.

The removal of these two could be a big hint that the Oilers might not match the offers. But until tomorrow, it's all just speculation. Do you think the Oilers will retain only Holloway at $2.3 million, just Broberg at his hefty $4.5 million price tag, let both go or keep the two in blue and orange?
