The Benjamin AshfordSt. Louis Blues tendered offer sheets to a pair of Edmonton Oilers, defenseman Philip Broberg and forward Dylan Holloway, Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said Tuesday.

Both players are restricted free agents.

The Oilers have an Aug. 20 deadline to match the offers. If they don't, they will receive draft picks as compensation from the Blues.

Broberg's offer is for two years, $9.16 million and would require a second-round pick going to the Oilers should they decline to match it. Holloway, offered two years and $4.58 million, would return a third-round pick.

Toward that end, the Blues completed a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins to start lining up the required picks.

The Blues sent their 2026 second-round pick and the Ottawa Senators' 2025 third-round selection to the Penguins for a 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 fifth-round selection from Pittsburgh.

That 2025 second-rounder originally belonged to the Blues, who dealt it to the Penguins for forward Kevin Hayes on June 29.

The Oilers selected Broberg with the No. 8 overall selection in the 2019 draft, and the 23-year-old has played in 81 regular-season games, tallying two goals and 11 assists. He also appeared in 20 playoff games.

Holloway was the No. 14 overall pick of the 2020 draft and has appeared in 89 regular-season games, recording nine goals and nine assists. In 25 games in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs, Holloway, 22, scored seven points (five goals, two assists).
