Offer Sheet Thread

[Chili]

Alot of those guys will be re-signed, maybe a couple traded.

One of the effective offer sheets was when the Sharks signed Hjarmlsson and forced the Hawks to match... which forced them to let Antti Niemi go (who the Sharks then signed).

Very interesting to see how the Leafs will deal with their contacts next summer

Rfa Matthews, Marner, Kapanen, Johnsson, Leivo
Ufa- Gardiner, Hainsey

They will obviously have to pay Matthews and Marner so how much will that leave for the rest?

Jets are up against it too, the price of having talent and a cap.

To not offer sheet is to not do your job to the best of your ability IMO. Use all the tools available to create a winner. If an offer sheet makes sense, do it. Should be 5-6 of these each summer.

 

[Chili]

I'm going to say the Coyotes offer sheet Matthews when the time comes.

I believe the Leafs would just match, whatever the contract was and then trade others if necessary. He`s too special a player to lose.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Marner or Matthews would be so awesome. we have cap space. i want drama, lets go for it

It's possibly the only one he would sign.

Maybe it's just a unwritten agreement, one that held for a time in the past until some went astray and might've been re-stated, agreed by all of them.

They aren't colluding to anything. There's no secret deception here, nothing illegal. Maybe you should go read what collusion means.

There is a logical reason not to make big offer sheets, and it is the draft picks given up.

 

[Kimota]

Give Matthews 20.

You make it sound as though they always have to fork out 4 1st round picks, which isn't the case. An offersheet to Nylander at the salary he got, or even higher might be worth it for a team finishing high and who's 1st round pick isn't worth as much.

it has to be higher, otherwise they match, that's what they were willing to offer anyway

If the contract is for 7 years, then the value for compensation purposes is 40% higher, because it can only be divided by maximum 5 years.

Offer sheets don't exist.
No matter how man times this comes up, they simply don't happen.

 

[OnTheRun]

Well it's a month too early to even think about it, most of the names on that list will disappear as soon as their team are allowed to have contract talks with them.

Then come the logistic behind the move, Habs have too many missing pieces to afford to pay the compensation. Offer sheets kind of only make sense if you think the move will put you over the top for a few years.

 

[ottawa]

No offer sheet was made for nearly 6 years.

And I don't see why it would happen next summer.

GMs knows the repercussions, and don't want to live with em, understandably.

The 'code' is still there, and always will be there.

I know I don't want to pay the picks for one player, nor do I want our team to be a target for the next 5 years.

Bergevin won't do that anyway, let's just hope he sticks to the goddamn route he seems to have taken, draft and develop.

We don't know that...only signed offer sheets get media attention.

 

[JianYang]

Which of those RFAs would sign here? It's not a championship team.

I don't think that would stop young guys from signing. Carolina RFA'd Fedorov, Oilers RFA'd vanek. Both were unsuccessful. Rangers RFA'd Sakic

History has proven that its typically a futile effort. How many offers have not been matched? I can only think of Penner.

 

[beowulf]

Would offer sheet Matthews at 13 mil

Leafs would match that for sure.

Some players also outright refuse to sign the offersheet like Subban did to Philly.

What if Montreal offers 16 million?

? I don’t remember that.

Weber signed a 14 years offer sheet with Philly though

It's a little known fact because he did not sign it. I think it was when he was holding out before 12-13.

An offersheet usually makes the headlines because it gets signed.

I'll try to find it, but it wasn't in print. It was over the radio or tv interview with an agent a few years after the fact.

Holmgren was pretty aggressive on the RFA market.

Kesler was also given an offersheet by the Flyers in 06 by Clarke. Holmgren was his AGM at the time.

Here's a list of signed offers. it's just under 40% acceptance.

The problem in our perspective of offersheets is that we don't know all the offers that were tendered either as those who do not get signed are left out of history.

 

[thegoalie39]

Most RFA's will be signed by July 1st even if they are not teams can match and just trade another player if they do not have cap space.....Montreal should target Panarin as a UFA start clearing some cap space ....Shaw at 3.9 and Schlemko at 2.1 should be gone for sure and if you can get a good return for Petry at 5.5 move him also.

There should be, but probably wont be............personally would love to offer sheets used more, but GM's are rarely thinking this way...

 

[Thebesthockey]

the offer sheet
the GMs no go zone

 

[Spirit of 67]

Chances are zero.

No one offer sheets anyone, anymore.
