Flames Nation: Jeff Marek said that the Calgary Flames were one in all three teams that were also considering offer sheeting then Edmonton Oilers Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg last offseason.

“All of this again, two other teams were all in favour of attempting to get all of the mandatory ingredients together to supply sheet Broberg and Holloway. And it sounds very very like one in all the teams was the Calgary Flames.
Just take into consideration that for one second. If you think the Battle of Alberta, when you concentrate on, like, the nastiness and the vitriol between these two teams, like my mind straight away goes back to, you already know, the times of the 80s once they would compete and, you already know, one team would win the Stanley Cup one yr, and the opposite would win it the opposite, the subsequent.

Calgary was a extremely good team, and we take into consideration those games between the 2 that may take about 4 and a half hours to play. You spend more time picking up gloves than announcing the goals. And these the times of Dave Semenko and Marty McSorley and Don Jackson and Tim Hunter and Jim Poplinski and everybody else going at it on the ice. Legitimate hatred between Edmonton and Calgary, the fan base didn’t get along, fights within the stands, etc.
And we fast forward to the summer of 2024 and that feud might have been played out with offer sheets. And just consider what that may have done to the Battle of Alberta, and if there would have been any more pressure on Edmonton to attempt to maneuver their, maneuver their player personnel in an effort to match the offer, knowing that it was the provincial rival.
I still don’t know who the third team was. Which will remain a white whale for me, we will see. But it surely sounds very very like Calgary was one in all the opposite teams that were in pursuit of the offer sheet for Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.”
