You used it correctly, but so many people mix up the spelling of "Resign" and "Re-sign", which mean the complete opposite.
Speculation: Offer Sheets - What would you like to see Bergevin do?

We'll forever be behind the curve as long as our search is limited to a subset of GMs. Time for an enlightened approach: Bypass the old-boys club and find the best European GM. Imagine going from choosing among the smallest pool of candidates to accessing the largest pool of candidates. That would be real progress.

they have over 18M in cap space for 16 players, then trade Reilly and there's 1.5M and Alzner you might be able to trade him after you pay his 1.5M bonus meaning he'll be owed 5M over 2 years so you can retain 50% or buy him out. Domi is the only player that needs a contract. You should have cheap contracts from the likes of Poehling, Suzuki, Brook by then and the cap should go up again. That will give them a lot of room but who knows what other trades will be made, Petry could go if they aren't a playoff team and don't think he will re-sign. Tatar might interest teams if he has another good year and the Habs are out of it. Who knows but it shouldn't stop you from going after one of the best young blueliners in the NHL that happens to be a local as well so he might actually want to be here.
I bet he would not have signed an OS here just like Point, why go from a playoff team especially as a local to a non playoff team that is build for the future when the leafs would match anyway.
Bergy does take alot of slack.
Hes taken the poorly managed team of before his time.. Took about 5 years to see what he had and figure out the direction the nhl is going and the what the team and owner wants. Has drafted or traded good players for excellent prospects instead of trading excellent prospects for hammerheads.
The work hes done is actually impressive and if he can trade price to B.C or seattle for some young picks.. Hes going to look like a f***ing genius.

Are either Scott Mellanby or Trevor Timmins serious candidates to eventually replace Marc Bergevin?
If I was Geoff Molson and the answer was no, would want someone in place to be learning the position and all that entails, pretty much knowing the organization from top to bottom.
When Bergevin took over, he had to learn it all, the players, the organization, even the position itself.
Sam Pollock was actually hired by Frank Selke and had many years to learn the organization and the managerial side.
Stevie Y. groomed Julien Brisebois in Tampa, Kyle Dubas got to learn from one of the best in Lou in Toronto.
On the flip side, what just happened in Minnesota with Paul Fenton and some of the mistakes, especially in player evaluation.
Seems prudent to have at least one good in house future candidate for the gm position.

no, they would match imo. Maybe if you go nuts and offer 13M per over 5 years but I wouldn't do that for a guy that has been called out for not working hard enough. I know he's a great goal scorer but to give up 4 1st and we would need to free up a lot of cap space so I wouldn't do it.
Just wondering why they haven't signed him yet, isn't he part of the Jet's core?

I wouldn’t OS Laine.
A player to OS and go crazy on would be a Rasmus Dahlin, if he were to become eligible. There’s an excellent chance you’d never come up with anyone of that caliber with your next 4 first rounders.

If the talk is true about him not being happy there due to the vets pushing him to work harder and his agent floating the he would like to play for the Habs due to all the Finns, then I could see a trade as possible. The problem is would MB pay the price that it would take. While he's a great goal scorer, it's certainly a red flag if true that he isn't happy because he doesn't want to work harder. Plus there's been talk about his video gaming. I don't think Julien would be a fan but it would be sweet to see him and Kotka together.

I'd love to see what a guy like Timmins would do as a GM. I certainly hope that he is smart enough to be taking some French lessons in his spare time if he aims at one day becoming GM of the Montreal Canadiens. If he's not and he still submit his resumé when MB gets fired than I would question his intelligence.

if MB is willing to give up 2 first round picks and 10M, then he should OS Barzal.
Offer sheet Dubois. There’s no better time to pounce than with a flat cap

Sure, but for PLD, I’d stick to the 8.4 limit to keep it to one 1st.
I’d like to see a 1+ PPG season on the resume before going as high as 10.

Imagine the Oilers said "well we got Hall, RNH and Yakupov, let's go all in and trade our next few 1st rounders"

Probability to get either is low but it's higher with Barzal due to the Islanders having cap trouble.
1) PLD might sign but Blue Jackets match
2) Barzal might not sign where the Islanders have cap issues. This might not be the case if the Islanders can move Leddy at the draft (before free agency)
Offer sheets rarely work. The only one I can see working is the Lightning. If they don't move guys at the draft (guys with NTC's), they will be heading to free agency with massive challenges and two big RFA assets.
Circumstance and context is likely the only way you can get someone to sign an offer sheet and the other team don't match
