well, i think the GM that is being sheeted feels like they are being financially attacked by outsiders
to win a offer sheet, the team would have to offer more then market value to actually "get the player" , A) to get the player to sign,,B) to get the team not to match
but here is the part no one ever ever talks about
"what about the team that actually gets the player they sheeted" and the repercussions/chain reactions from that?
take NYI as an example ,let say they land melander at 7.5/8m per , that sets a team precedent,,, so what does Barzel after a 85p rookie season demand?,,,,if melanders 60p winger seasons are worth 7.5/8m to the islanders, what is Barzel their #1 C worth 10m/11m??? 85p rookie #1C>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>60p 3rd year winger
and the exact same debate can be made IF Colorado tries it How much will 84P 6.4ft power forward Rantanen cost them again 10/11m per??? both are wingers playing with superstar C one racks up 30g 84p as a powerforward,,,,,,the other 20g 61p perimeter player
