I read it as Hanifin
But as for Hamilton, I disagree about the Oilers offering more. I think the offers were extremely comparable.
We acquired Hamilton for picks 15, 45 & 52. Their offer was said for be 16, 33 & 57.
Yeah, what Boston asked. I posted shat Edmonton offered. They are 2 different thingsMy understanding is that Boston was asking for Nurse from Edmonton along with a 1st.
Clearly their season is overFlorida has zero wins on the season
People wrote off the Ducks prematurely. They are never going to go away.

No matter what, the Ducks find a way to win. Once they turn it on in the second half of the season like they always do, they'll be scary againI can’t see at .950 sv percentage all season

No, but they will also get guys back from injury still too.I can’t see at .950 sv percentage all season

Yes, but probably after guys come back from injury. Or, after they come back he'll go on another tear and they'll dominate for a while.I’ll never count out the ducks. They’ve been too good for too long. But at some point Gibson will be a human.
There are other restrictions around it, though, as other posters have alluded to. Most negotiations don't involve the availability of draft picks, etc.Offer sheet is not some magical item that GM's can use if they feel like it, it's a term used to describe an final result of certain negotiation. Essentially, any team can negotiate with and sign any RFA who is eligible for offer sheets. Basically just the same way they can negotiate with and sign UFA's. If player is signed, it is referred as offer sheet.

I guess there are two big factors. To sign the offer sheet in the first place, you're probably going to overpay (otherwise the player would've signed with their initial team anyway), and you're also going to need to give up picks (and have those picks available in the first place). Also, it's possible that you could be helping out the team by getting the player signed to a contract that ownership/fans can't blame you for.
Like, everyone agrees that Chiarelli overpaid Draisaitl by a few million. But if another team had signed him to an $8M/year offer sheet, he'd have been blameless when he matched.
I'm interested to see how Boston does against Edmonton tonight; the McDavids lineup tonight is pretty interesting:
Who Cares - McDavid - Who Cares
Who Cares - Who Cares - Who Cares
Who Cares - Who Cares - Who Cares
Still in the League? - Who Cares - Still in the League?
Pretty good chance McDavid has a couple points at least. Good chance the others play hockey, or whatever, do something.
Do you blame them? McDavid is all world, the rest of the team is pretty meh. With all the draft picks they’ve had, it’s impressive that management has screwed their fans as much as they have.Lots of empty seats at the opener. Little shocking tbh.
