Stan Bowman shows no remorse for St. Louis Blues offer sheet situation
Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman recently sat down with Sportsnet's Mark Spector for a detailed Q&A, highlighting some of the hot topics regarding the Oilers season thus far.
I think all Edmonton fans will remember the St. Louis Blues offer sheet during the NHL offseason. The St. Louis Blue swooped in and stole Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway, the two best Oilers prospects at the time.
Wile Broberg and Holloway have had a successful transition to the Blues, Oilers GM Stan Bowman has no regrets in the events that unfolded.
According to Sporstnet, Eventually, he made his decisions on Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg, and unlike some Oilers fans, Bowman isn't poring over the Blues' game summaries every second night to see how many points they had.
«That's just the way I am in general. I'm not looking back at all,» he told Sportsnet over the phone from Boston, where Edmonton's pro scouting meetings wrapped up on Wednesday. «Whether you agree or disagree with it, in our minds they were the only moves that made sense.

«And I think, if you look at where we are today, there have been some new opportunities that have come from that.»
Stan Bowman was also able to speed up the healing process by adding Ty Emberson and Vasily Podkolzin to the roster.
While both players may not be contributing on the score sheet, they've both added a stable presence within their respective positions on the ice.
Regardless, GM Bowman admits he did what he thought was the right thing at the time.
Despite losing two talented prospects, the Oilers are one of the hottest teams in the NHL, and they have Stan Bowman to thank for it.
