In the second tweet, arrogance not ignorance. But I don’t quite get this if true, JBB said at worst they’ll take the compensatory second round pick, idk if he’s holding out hope that he can get someone better or?

if jbb thinks he can get something better go for it. he’s not walking away empty handed so shoot for whatever
If they’re getting a second round compensation pick, why would they do a deal to get a pick that’s “slightly” better?
You want his rights that badly? Pay up.
Oilers’ late first round is probably what, 10-15 spots ahead of the Bolts’ compensation 2nd? That’s it? That’d be a ridiculous offer lol.
But, of course, it’s Seravalli, so the move is to hear what he says and assume that whatever’s actually happening is in the exact opposite direction.
Jbb isn’t going to get rid of him without at least getting something better in return
Pro tip: don’t believe anything you see on Twitter unless it’s from a known insider. Especially this account lol.
Howard just won the Hobey Baker, give us Savoie.
I’d rather take the second and make Howard miss a pro season than take a late first.
If we don’t sign him and he goes UFA we will only get a comp late 2nd for him and if that’s the case JBB should’ve been fired yesterday. With that said I highly doubt JBB who’s known as one of the smarter people around the league would mess up this badly.
I am not sure why JBB is the problem here. He told Edmonton what he wanted. Why won’t they give him what he wants? No reason for him to cave here to something he doesn’t want.
I think its clear thar jbb thinks he can get something better for howard’s signing rights. I’m sure he’s seeking a defense prospect or something that can help the team now.
Howard for McJesus, salary retained and we’ll call it even.
This makes no sense. JBB would take this deal, unless another team is offering something better and JBB thinks he can get it.
Issac Howard was the 31st pick. So Bolts compensation pick is the 31st pick of the 2nd round.
A late first is absolutely significantly better than a pick basically a full round later.
I’ll only do it for McDavid
I would guess JBB wants a player. Maybe a defenseman?
Either way a 1st is a good offer that we should take if we can get it done imo. Can always take that and flip it for a piece at the deadline with our cap space.
Seravalli is such a POS
